How to do this exercise

  1. Step:1 Position yourself on all fours on a mat, with your hands directly above your shoulders and your knees directly above your hips.
  2. Step:2 Voluntarily contract the abdominals to freeze the trunk and keep the back perfectly flat.
  3. Step:3 Inhale, then exhale as you raise one knee outward without changing the angle of the knee (keep it bent at 90°).
  4. Step:4 Make sure both arms remain straight and your weight does not shift completely to the opposite side.
  5. Step:5 At the top of the movement, perform a voluntary contraction (squeeze) of the glutes for 2 seconds.
  6. Step:6 Lower the knee back down in a very controlled manner, barely touching the ground before returning for the next repetition.
  7. Step:7 Complete all reps on one leg before switching to the other.
