EXERCISE OF THE WEEK; Week 41

Toning and strengthening your glutes not only improves appearance but also can decrease lower back pain.  For these benefits you may need to work them more than once a week.  Here is a simple exercise for maximum results.

Bend-Knee Hydrant

Proper Form: Start on your hands and knees, with your hands under your shoulders and knees under your hips. Keeping your arms straight and feet flexed, raise your right leg out to the side to a 90 degree angle (leg parallel to the ground). Hold this position for 1-2 seconds, then slowly lower back to the starting position. Begin with 10 reps, on each side, then increase as necessary!
