1 - Begin by lying on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Place your arms at your sides, palms facing down.
2 - Lift your right leg and cross your right ankle over your left knee, creating a “figure 4” shape with your legs.
3 - Press through your left heel and squeeze your glutes as you lift your hips off the ground. Your weight should be on your left foot and shoulders, with your right foot helping to stabilize the crossed leg.
4 - Lift your hips until your body forms a straight line from your shoulders to your knees. Focus on engaging your glutes throughout the movement.
5 - Slowly lower your hips back down to the ground, but don’t let them touch the floor. Keep tension in your glutes.
6 - Perform the desired number of repetitions on one side and then switch, uncrossing your legs to perform the exercise on the other side.
