How to do it

  1. Get down on all fours.
  2. Position your shoulders, elbows, and wrists in a straight line with your palms flat on the floor. Have your hands roughly shoulder-width apart.
  3. Bend your knees and hips at a 90-degree angle. Your knees should be directly underneath your hips.
  4. Straighten your back by pulling your shoulder blades back, but avoid arching your lower back. Aim for a neutral spine.
  5. Engage your abs, take a breath, and shift your weight slightly on your left knee.
  6. Raise your right leg back by engaging your glute, and have it do all of the work. Keep your knee bent at a 90-degree angle.
  7. Raise the leg until your thigh is parallel to the floor and in line with your torso.
  8. Hold the top position and bring that leg to the starting position as you exhale.
