- begin on the floor on all fours, with arms shoulder width apart and knees together or slightly apart
- one leg at a time, squeeze your glute to raise your leg from the floor up into the air, keeping your leg at a 90º angle
- ensure you are moving the leg in alignment with your body, not at an angle inwards or outwards
- squeeze hard for a moment at the top of the movement
- squeeze hard for a moment at the top of the movement
- lower the leg back to the starting position and immediately reverse the movement, to again raise the leg
- continue the action of raising and lower each leg at a time until desired repetitions is complete (I normally perform within a 15-25 rep range).

This exercise can be altered to change the difficulty. For instance, the example above shows the leg bent at a 90º angle but you could also keep the leg straight or at any position in between.
