Set up a bench, chair, box or other sturdy, flat object against a wall. The platform should be about knee-high.
Place your barbell about two feet in front of the platform. Sit down with your upper back against the platform and roll the barbell over your legs to your hips (you should use weight plates that allow for a few inches of space between the barbell and your thighs when sitting). Use a bar pad for comfort.
Plant your feet firmly, placing them close to your glutes.
Drive through the heels to send your hips upward. Achieve a bridge position (thighs parallel to the ground) by fully extending your hips. Take care not to overextend your lower back.
With control, lower your hips until they hover one to two inches above the ground. Start your next from this position. The idea is to maintain tension instead of lowering all the way to the ground.

What happens to your body when you lift daily

The main benefit of frequent weight training is increased strength.

Stronger muscles: On today’s episode of “state the obvious,” we explain that more weightlifting equals more strength. In all seriousness, frequency might just be the variable you need to tweak in order to get stronger.
Healthier bones: Weight-bearing exercise is proven to improve bone density, which is a key factor in your ability to stay active as you age. In older people, lifting weights helps reduce the number of falls and fractures. In younger people, lifting weights is a preventative practice against osteoporosis.
Improved endurance: Improved muscular endurance, to specify. Lifting weights often in higher rep ranges (10-plus reps per set) improves the aerobic capacity of your muscles.
Better body composition: If you don’t currently lift weights every day (or at all), doing so could be the spark that ignites your metabolism. Weightlifting burns a lot of calories per session, induces post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC), and builds muscle, all of which can help you achieve a leaner physique.
