How to do it

Lower the leg slowly over three seconds to keep tension constant.

  1. 1

    Begin in a kneeling position with hands under shoulders and knees under hips.

  2. 2

    Engage your core and lift one leg up behind you, keeping the knee bent at a 90-degree angle.

  3. 3

    Squeeze your glutes at the top of the movement.

  4. 4

    Lower the leg back down without touching the knee to the ground.

  5. 5

    Repeat for the desired number of repetitions before switching legs.

Expert tip

Ensure your hips remain square to the ground to maximize glute engagement and prevent lower back strain.
