Similar to the move above, you can do this glute exercise with your bodyweight or up the ante with ankle weights.
How to Do a Fire Hydrant:
- Start on all fours with your hands directly under your shoulders and your knees directly under your hips.
- Keep your right knee at a 90-degree angle as you slowly raise your leg to the right until it is parallel to the ground. Avoid lifting your right hip, and try to keep both hips squared toward the floor. Keep your core tight and avoid shifting your weight towards the left.
- With control, lower your right leg back to return to the starting position without lowering the right knee to the floor.
- That's one rep. Do three sets of 15 reps, then repeat on the other side.
