  • Bend your knees lowering your pelvis until your thighs are parallel to the floor and your knees are at 90 degrees. Your knees should be in line with your second toe. Your back should remain upright — do not lean forward.

Reps: 20 (10 on each side)

  • Start on all fours, with your hands directly under your shoulders and your knees directly under your hips.
  • Keep your right knee at a 90-degree angle as you slowly raise your leg behind you until your thigh is almost parallel to the floor. Pulse your flexed foot toward the ceiling by squeezing your glutes. Your back should remain perfectly still in a neutral spine. The motion should be small and controlled with the muscle doing the work and not momentum.
