Donkey Kicks Right

Muscles worked: Legs

Donkey Kicks Right mirror the left version for the right glute: from hands and knees, press the right foot upward with a bent knee, then lower with control.

Watch that your hips stay level and square to the floor throughout — the most common mistake is letting the working hip hike up. Match the reps of the left side and keep the back flat on every rep.

How to do it

1. Start on your hands and knees with your back flat and your core braced.
2. Keeping your right knee bent, press your right foot upward toward the ceiling.
3. Lift only as high as you can without arching your back or hiking your working hip.
4. Lower with control and repeat.
5. Watch that your hips stay level and square to the floor throughout, and match the reps of the left side.
