How to do it

Spread your fingers wide and press evenly through both palms.

  1. 1

    Start on all fours with your knees hip-width apart and your hands under your shoulders.

  2. 2

    Keeping your right knee bent at 90 degrees, lift your right leg behind you until your thigh is almost parallel to the floor.

  3. 3

    Pulse your right foot towards the ceiling by squeezing your glutes.

  4. 4

    Perform small, controlled movements for a set number of reps before switching to the left leg.

Expert tip

Keep your core engaged and hips square to the ground to prevent lower back strain and to maximize glute activation.
