Engage your core and then lift your hips off the ground until your knees, hips and shoulders form a straight line! Hold and then lower down – repeat!
EXERCISE 5
- Donkey Kicks
Donkey Kicks help tone, tighten and strengthen your butt!! Make sure when doing donkey kicks you aren’t swinging your legs or dipping your back, stay as still and stable as you can focusing on your GLUTES doing all the work! Always engage your core!
Things to remember!
