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