How to do it

  1. 01

    Lie down with your feet on the floor, heels directly under your knees.

  2. 02

    Lift only your tailbone to the ceiling to stretch your lower back. (Don't lift the entire spine yet.) Pull in your stomach.

  3. 03

    To go into a bridge, lift the entire spine except the neck.

In the app

Pelvic Tilt Into Bridge needs no kit, so it appears whenever the day's window has room for it. Its minutes come from Rule 2 (Sessions are built to fit, never guaranteed, graded product): the window sets how long it runs, never the other way round.

If a machine is taken the engine swaps a same-pattern movement and says why.

Same pattern, with kit

Same movement pattern, same primary muscles — swap by what you have.
