Fire Hydrant Right

Muscles worked: Legs

Fire Hydrant Right works the right hip the same way: from hands and knees, lift the bent right leg out to the side and lower it with control.

Keep your arms straight and your core braced so your torso stays quiet while the leg moves. Do the same reps as the left side, and stop the range where your back would start to arch or twist.

How to do it

1. Start on your hands and knees with your arms straight and your core braced.
2. Keeping your right knee bent, lift your right leg out to the side.
3. Open the hip only as far as you can while keeping your torso still and your back flat.
4. Lower with control.
5. Do the same reps as the left side, and stop the range where your back would start to arch or twist.
