Donkey kicks are one version of all-fours glute kickbacks, a move Stokes loves for waking up your glutes. You can perform this glute exercise with ankle weights (as shown) for an added challenge or with just your bodyweight.
- Begin on all fours, with your hands directly under your shoulders and your knees directly under your hips. Find a neutral spine, and engage your core.
- Keep your right knee bent at a 90-degree angle as you slowly raise your leg behind you. At the end of the movement, your thigh will be parallel to the floor. Make sure to keep your back flat — try not to arch it.
- Return to the starting position, but don't allow your knee to touch the floor. That's one rep.
- Do 15-20 reps, then repeat on the other side. Do three sets.
