Incline Rear-Leg Extension
The incline rear-leg extension builds strength and coordination through the hips. Each leg is trained individually so muscular balance is achieved on both sides.
Instructions
Step 1
Get in downward dog position by placing your hands on the ground roughly three feet in front of your toes. Keep your hips up and brace your abs. Form a straight line from your feet to your hips and from your hips to your shoulders.
Step 2
Lift one leg back and up, reaching the heel toward the sky. Squeeze your glutes. Return the leg to the starting position.
Step 3
This is a test of adding gifs to the Instructions.
Trainer's Tips
- Focus on squeezing your glutes at the top of each rep.
- Keep your upper body square and avoid rotating side to side during the exercise.
- Avoid hyperextending your lower back at the top of the movement.
