How can you increase the level of difficulty for Bridge variations on the Chair?

Increasing the level of difficulty for Bridge variations on the Chair can be effectively achieved by lowering the resistance while maintaining the lift in the hips. This approach emphasizes control and stability, allowing the practitioner to engage their core and glute muscles more intensely. By reducing the resistance, you increase the challenge of maintaining proper form and alignment, which can enhance the benefits of the exercise and encourage strength and stability in the hips and lower back.

In contrast, adding more weight to the springs might increase resistance, but it could compromise the ability to perform the exercise with proper form. Increasing the speed of the exercise can lead to reduced control and may not target the specific muscle engagement needed for an effective Bridge. Switching to a different apparatus could also change the dynamics of the exercise, possibly detracting from the focused work on the Chair that is critical for strengthening the specific areas targeted in Bridge variations.
