Bridge Scissors

Bridge Scissors is a plyometric exercise designed to stimulate your nervous system while simultaneously strengthening the muscles in your core, hips and hamstrings.

Procedure: 

Get into ‘The Bridge.’ Dig your left heel into the exercise ball. Make sure your toe is pointed towards the ceiling.

Now take your right leg off the ball and move it horizontally to the right. Keep your right big toe pointed.

Hold it for a second and now begin to move your right leg in a horizontal motion. Keep the image of scissors in your mind. Start with small movements, and then gradually make the movements longer.

At first you will go slow, but over time you will be able to increase the speed.
Do this until you lose form or until fatigue sets in.

Switch legs and repeat.

Once you get good at this, add 1-3 pound ankle weights to add an additional challenge.
