Donkey Kickback

Expert Advice

Focus on squeezing your glutes at the top of the movement and keep your spine neutral to avoid lower back strain.

How-to-do Steps

  1. Start on all fours with your hands under your shoulders and knees under your hips.
  2. Keeping your knee bent, lift one leg up towards the ceiling, driving your heel up as if pushing the ceiling away.
  3. Squeeze your glutes at the top of the movement, then slowly lower your leg back to the starting position.
  4. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions before switching to the other leg.
