Coach's Tips

This floor move targets your side glutes and helps stabilize your hips.

How to Fire hydrant

Starting Position

1. In the four-legged position, place your hands under your shoulders and your knees under your pelvis.

2. Keep your back and waist straight.

Proper Form

1. Lift one knee to the side and engage the muscles next to your hip.

2. Hold steady to prevent your pelvis from rotating and lift only to the range you can manage.

3. Slowly lower and repeat, then do the same on the opposite side.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when you raise your legs and inhale when you lower them.

Precautions

1. Keep your core tight so that your waist doesn't sway side to side.

2. Focus on the feeling of riding next to your hips rather than the height.
