Different Side Bridge exercises to build abs



Abs actually play a important role in the body for fitness lovers as when an individual picks heavy weights the abs support the heavy weight so it is also important to train your abdominal muscles along with other parts of the body.
Here in this article I will share with you some exercises known as “Side Bridge”, there are also many other abdominal exercises but Side Bridge exercises actually help build your side abdominal muscles.
The different Side Bridge exercises for training abs are:
·        Kneeling side bridges
·        Side Bridge
·        Elevated Side Bridge
Normally when an individual does weight training it is recommended to do at least 2 variations of a particular exercise, here I will tell about three different variations and you can try any 2 at the time of abdominal workout.

Kneeling Side Bridges
1.     Kneeling side bridges: In this variation abdominal exercise lie on the side with the support of your forearm on the ground and your elbow under the shoulder. Then bend your knees 90 degrees which you can easily understand by its name “Kneeling Side Bridge”. Then next just push your body up with the support of your forearms, keep your abs stiff throughout the exercise. Then just go in the direction up and down and you can understand its effect on your abs.
