How to do it

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