Glute-Sculpting Pretzel Exercise

Send to a friend
Get a lifted rear with The Pretzel.

Sit with one knee bent in front of you, the other leg bent behind you (see this demo). Keep your front knee down, straight out in front of your hip, and your torso as upright as possible.

Lift the back ankle and lower one inch, keeping the knee bent, pulsing for 20 counts. Your goal is not to place your hands on the floor to steady yourself.

Raise the back leg one inch, still keeping it bent, and pulse it up for 20 counts.

Alternate lifting the ankle and lifting the leg for 20 counts, then reverse the legs and repeat the exercise on the other side.
