Fire Hydrant Kick

Setup

• Start in a tabletop position on a yoga mat, with your hands directly under your shoulders and your knees directly under your hips.

• Keep your spine neutral and engage your core muscles to stabilize your torso.

Movement

• Keeping your knee bent at approximately a 90-degree angle, lift one leg out to the side, away from the midline of your body.

• Aim to raise your knee as high as comfortable while keeping your hips square to the floor.

• Avoid leaning or shifting your weight onto the supporting side.

• Squeeze your glute at the top of the movement for a brief pause.

• Lower the leg back down with a controlled motion to the starting position without letting the knee fully rest on the floor if performing continuous reps.
