Starting Position
- lay down onto the ground or a fitness mat
- bend your knee and let your heel find grip on the ground
- the other leg remains straight onto the ground
- place your hands in the neck
Correct Execution
- lift your pelvis
- guide the stretched leg upwards
- the thigh of the lifted leg is parallel to the other one
- head, shoulders and foot stay on the ground
- thighs and upper body build a line
- avoid lifting the pelvis more than necessary, otherwise you strain the lumbar spine too much
- hold the position as long as you like
- you can go back to the starting position or lift the pelvis again without touching the ground
- repeat several times, do not forget the other side
tip for the workout
- you can increase the difficulty of the glute exercise, if you arrange the foot a bit wider apart from your body
