FitCi
Step-by-step
- Get on all fours with hands under shoulders and knees under hips
- Brace your core and lock your lower back in neutral
- Extend one leg back and slightly up, leading with the heel
- When the leg reaches hip height, squeeze the glute for one second
- Bring the knee back without touching the floor; finish the reps, then switch legs
Coaching tip
Unlike the donkey kick, the leg extends backward; drive your heel toward the wall behind you.
Caution
Skip this move or ask a professional first if you have pain or an injury in: lower back, knee. FitCi filters it out of your program automatically based on the injuries in your profile.
