How to do it
Execution:
  1. 1
    Get on all fours, hands under shoulders and knees under hips.
  2. 2
    Extend one leg behind you, keeping it straight and aligned.
  3. 3
    Lift the leg up to hip height, squeezing the glute.
  4. 4
    Lower slowly, maintaining control throughout.
Tip: don't arch the lower back — if you can't keep a neutral spine, reduce the range.
