How to do it

  2. As you exhale, extend your working leg straight behind you by squeezing your glutes. Keep your back straight and avoid arching.
  3. Hold the contracted position for a second.
  4. Slowly return your leg to the starting position as you breathe in.
  5. Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions, then switch legs.
