Glute kickback on floor
Intermediate10 repsNo jumping
How to do it
- Get down on all fours.
- Position your shoulders, elbows, and wrists in a straight line with your palms flat on the floor. Have your hands roughly shoulder-width apart.
- Bend your knees and hips at a 90-degree angle. Your knees should be directly underneath your hips.
- Straighten your back by pulling your shoulder blades back, but avoid arching your lower back. Aim for a neutral spine.
- Engage your abs, take a breath, and shift your weight slightly on your left knee.
- 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.
- Raise the leg until your thigh is parallel to the floor and in line with your torso.
- Hold the top position and bring that leg to the starting position as you exhale.
