Starting Position
- go on all fours
- contract the abs
- keep the back straight and the head in extension to the spine
- look to the ground
Correct Execution
- guide one leg up angled (easier) or almost stretched out
- if your thigh is placed in the horizontal, you reached the final position
- hold it for a bit and come back to the starting position
- avoid a hollow-back during the glute exercise
- repeat this fitness exercise several times with one leg without touching the ground, do not alternate the legs
tips for the workout
- if you put a broomstick on your lower back and balance it during the exercise, you can demand your stability and the transverse abdominal muscle even more
- if you have a dumbbell, you can clamp it inside your hollow of the knee to work out with additional weight
