Sets: 3

Reps: 10 (5 each side)

• Lie on your back with the knees and hips bent to 90/90. Hold a dumbbell straight out in front.

• Inhale and expand the ribcage to prep for the movement.

• Exhale and draw in your core. Extend one leg out as you lower the weight overhead. Don’t let the low back arch off of the mat.

• Inhale once you are back at 90/90.

• Exhale, draw in and switch sides.

• Progress this exercise by gradually straightening the leg, eventually hovering above the floor.

• Only go as far as you can control without letting the lower back arch.

Modifications:

• Decrease the range of motion: the closer you tap towards the butt, the easier the movement.

• Decrease the weight.
