The London Bridge exercise is a fun and interactive group exercise that involves creating a human bridge by interlocking arms in a line. One person acts as the "bridge" by standing in the middle of the line, while the other participants form the sides of the bridge by interlocking their arms and standing facing each other.
How to perform
Step by step instructions for the London Bridge exercise:1. Divide the group into two even lines facing each other, with enough space in between to create a bridge.
2. Choose one person to be the "bridge" and have them stand in the middle of the two lines.
3. The rest of the participants on either side of the bridge should interlock arms with the person next to them to create a solid bridge structure.
4. Once the bridge is formed, have the person standing in the middle of the bridge walk, crawl, or even skip through the bridge.
5. As the person passes through the bridge, the participants on either side can lower their arms to create a rolling effect or keep them raised to maintain the bridge structure.
6. Repeat the exercise with different participants as the "bridge" for a fun and engaging group activity.
The London Bridge exercise is a great way to build teamwork, communication, and trust within a group while also encouraging physical movement and coordination.
Equipment required
Rope
Rope equipment, commonly known as battle ropes, are heavy, thick ropes that are used for various types of exercises such as strength training, cardiovascular conditioning and agility drills. By utilizing the ropes in a variety of movements such as waves, slams, and circles, users can engage multiple muscle groups simultaneously for an effective full-body workout. The ropes can improve grip strength, enhance core stability, and increase overall endurance.
