Activate your gluteus maximus with this bent-over donkey kick.
- Start standing with your feet shoulder-width apart, with the front of your hips against a table, counter, or the back of a couch or chair. To make the move more challenging, place a resistance band above your knees.
- Lean over the surface in front of you, propping yourself up on your elbows and making sure the front of your hips and abdomen can lay flat against it. This will help prevent any movement through your lower back.
- Bend your right knee and lift your right foot off the floor. Keep your foot flexed so your ankle is at or close to a 90-degree angle with your toes pointing down. This is your starting position.
- Kick your right foot back, extending your leg while keeping your foot flexed. Squeeze your glutes and keep your core braced as you move.
- Bend your right leg and bring it back in, returning to the starting position.
- This counts as one rep. Make sure to do equal reps on both legs.
