From Desk to Gym: The 12-Minute Bridge That Prevents Tweaks

Going straight from keyboard to kettlebell is how backs get cranky. Here’s a fast protocol to wake up hips, shoulders, and core after a long day, so your workout builds you up instead of cashing you out.

The Bridge (12 Minutes)

  1. Bike/row/walk 3 minutes easy.
  2. Hip hinges x 10; lateral lunges x 6/side.
  3. Thoracic open-books x 6/side; band pull-aparts x 12.
  4. Glute bridges 2×8; dead bugs 2×6/side.
  5. Empty-bar movement rehearsal (squat/hinge/press) 2×5.

From Dr. Edward Komberg: “Warm-ups aren’t penalties; they’re insurance. Twelve minutes now saves two weeks later.”
