How to do it

Distribute your weight evenly across both hands and wrists.

    Begin on your hands and knees with your back flat.

    Flex one foot and bend the knee to a 90-degree angle.

  3. 3

    Kick the bent leg back and up, keeping your foot flexed and squeezing your glutes.

  4. 4

    Bring the knee back to the starting position without resting it on the ground.

  5. 5

    Repeat for the desired number of reps before switching legs.

Expert tip

Focus on maintaining a controlled movement to prevent momentum from taking over, ensuring your glutes and hamstrings are doing the work.
