Rotations Into Low Bridge Beginner 

I've been working rotations on the wall, and just going lower and lower over time. Now I am able to do the rotations from standing. Huge progress by following a slow progression method.

is anyone else nerding out that nick drake is playing in background? so epic.

Nice simple how to. Not so simple to do, but it gives the student a focus on whats important and how. You're a good teacher. Keep it up.

Hello, I recently found your web site and these videos and am so excited to join the movement culture. Having just turned 45 years old, I wish I would have discovered you years sooner. Oh well, better late than never!

I've been working all summer on trying to do this from the floor... not quite, but almost getting it. On my first try after practicing the stand-up version I was able to do it in both directions!. Great tutorial!! I like the Nick Drake soundtrack too!

you and elliott hulse inspire me to prepare my body for movement and inspire others to be able to do so.

Thank you very much for sharing the "basics":) The way you teach reminds me of a Japanese martial arts teacher I had, he was very honest but he showed results from practice. I have a year old lower back issue from a former job and I've been practicing this beginner exercises for a week and I notice a difference in the feeling in my lower back. It's been helping strengthen my lower back and the are don't feel as tight as before. Moreover, I like your concept of total body awareness.

I LOVE these videos!!! Thank you so much for sharing

Loving how short these videos are

Rotations into low bridge movement from 0:43 was tougher than it looks!

Thanks so MUCH for the beginners series!

Very, very useful. Thank you!

This man is AMAZING!

thank you for the progressions Ido.

Who's working on this in 2017? :) Starting my Ido Portal Method journey myself.

Wow this really lets you see where you are lacking flexibility in shoulder girdle and spine.

thanks for the video today is my first day using the beginner qdr pushups and these rotations and the pain in my lower back seriously has been reduced from being sore from excersice..if you see this any advice?

beautiful song, delightful movement

Great video! However when i do a bridge, my whole upper back tense up and it stops me from using full range of motion. Anybody knows how to correct this? I feel as if even if this is only beginners level, my limited range of motion stops me even from training at beginners level. I might be wrong though, any tips guys?

I would like to do Ido Portal guess it is named after you but Im not sure If i practice these workouts I get any closer to you, Will you make a full video with a weekly routine? Now I do calistenics now for a year but I want to try your method it looks more healthy for body and composition.

Today I almost did a bridge rotation, I will try this progression steps.

Thank you for these videos!

Any recommendations for alignment and form in the twisting low bridges?? I have a fairly flexible back, but am still building strength in movement, trying to avoid injuries.

Thanks Master Ido!

Are there any system rules, like 3 sets of 10 or just to failure? Thanjs

So helpful

I don't know if anyone is still looking at this thread, but I tried the low bridges and am experiencing a LOT of lower back pain, from just one set of 5 reps. I did a full warm up, generally am active, but I know I struggle with bridge work. Reading Ido's description of how the Low Bridge should reduce lumbar strain, I didn't expect to have WORSE lumbar pain (I think I may have strained it) than when I do high bridge work. Any suggestions on mistakes that people make doing the low bridge that add strain to the lumbar spine?

Insane

I feel a lot of load on my quads when I do this and very less on my hands and wrists. Am I doing it correct or should I just go back to doing it on the wall?

where can i fing the QDR article the link which is posted in ido's blog is no longer active

Hurts good

Is this music Nick Drake?

I pulled my neck doing the rotations into low bridge. anything I can do to fix that/strengthen my neck/prevent that?

I'm unable to do it properly . I've recently started .. please help me

I never thought there are names for progression steps i went throught.

@hlywkar it was the 'low bridge slide' I pulled it on

I'm having dyscopathy for few years. Not so long time ago I was able to do it. Now it looks impossible. ;/

I can't even get into the rotation into low bridge. I can get as far as puting my hand on the ground. I go to turn into it with my other arm and that's as far as I can get. It feels like I'l going to fall. Maybe my arms aren't strong enough.

@Mikey121291 What's specifically worrying you about your back?

i am a 20 year old, very active man and i am probably not able to perform one of these :D so maybe the definition of beginner should be changed a bit

Im a whiner... i am going to have a tough time doing this shit...

2018

Beginner? I'm pretty sure there's not way I can do any of this at all, lol.
