Lifestyle Family Fitness | Move of the Month


This month, we work to strengthen your hips and glutes. The quadruped butt blaster is a beginner level exercise that requires no equipment. You can practice it in the comfort of your living room. Ensure that you have properly stretched the hip flexor prior to getting started. When completing this exercise, ensure that your abdomen remains drawn in.

Preparation:	Movement:
Assume a neutral spine position ensuring proper alignment of the spine.	Take a deep breath. As you exhale, draw your abdomen in as if to pull your belly button to your spine. Squeeze glutes and slowly raise a bent leg towards the ceiling. Ensure this movement is controlled. Move only as far as you can maintain stability of the spine. Return to original position and repeat. Do not allow your head to move forward.
