Great Glutes #4...

...and hamstrings and core!

Begin this exercise on your stomach with your arms bent, your hands stacked and your forehead resting on the top hand. Drop your shoulders away from your ears and engage your core, bringing your navel up toward your spine.

Extend your legs out behind you engaging all your muscles. Using the strength of your glutes and hamstrings, maintaining your core engagement and keeping your shoulders relaxed, lift your legs a few inches off the floor. Hold for 6-8 counts and lower. Repeat for 12-18 repetitions.

When you are finished, press back into "child's pose" and relax!
