Hi Grace! Very good question. I do the entire exercise 2-3 times... Wish I could tell you how many days it will take, but I have no clue. Let's go with instantaneous ;)

Great - thanks for the inspiration - need to break up the routine a bit and diversify! Used to do these when I took gymnastics - haven't done them in a while and I forgot!

Lol, no! Sorry it is a bit confusing. You can either hold for 30 seconds in the extended bridge OR do 20-30 dips. The other way would be quite boring and intense :)
