Instructions

Setup

  • Start in a high plank position with your hands shoulder-width apart directly under your shoulders.

  • Place one foot onto a sturdy chair, keeping that leg straight while the other leg hovers in the air.

  • Ensure your body forms a straight line from your head to your supporting heel.

Movement

  • From the starting position, draw the knee of the hovering leg toward your chest, engaging your core.

  • With control, kick the leg straight back and upward, focusing on squeezing the glute at the peak of the movement.

  • Keep your hips level throughout; avoid arching your back or shifting your weight excessively as you move the leg.

  • Complete the desired reps on one side before switching to the other.
