Instructions

Setup

  1. Place a resistance band around your legs, positioning it just above your knees.

  2. Start on all fours on an exercise mat, with your hands directly under your shoulders and your knees directly under your hips (tabletop position).

Movement

  1. Maintain a neutral spine and engage your core to stabilize your pelvis.

  2. Extend one leg backward, keeping it straight, until it is in line with your torso.

  3. Squeeze your glute at the top of the movement for a brief second.

  4. Slowly return your leg to the starting position, controlled, without resting the knee fully on the floor.

  5. Complete the desired number of repetitions on one side before switching to the other.
