Instructions

  1. Stand upright, holding the back of a sturdy object, such as a chair, or rest your hands against a wall.
  2. Lift one leg, bringing it back to the back, and squeeze your buttocks at the top of the movement. Pause here and then return to the starting position.

Tips

  • Don't go too far, and don't overdo your back at the beginning of the exercise. Keep your core tight to minimize the risk of injury.
  • Avoid leaning your torso forward during the exercise. Instead, keep your chest high and move with just your hips.
