Lying (Prone) Gluteal Extension

START Lie down on your stomach. Arch your upper body slightly using your elbows and palms on the ground as support.  Ensure the leg cord is secured around both ankles before beginning the exercise.

 

FINISH Keeping both legs straight, extend your right leg back and up behind your body. This exercise will strengthen and tone the gluteus maximus and medial gluteals of your legs. Focus on moving through a full range of motion in order to achieve the maximum benefit of the exercise. Return to the starting position and repeat with your other leg.
