Primary:Core
Secondary:Glutes
Tertiary:Quadriceps, Hamstrings
Stabilizer:Front Delts, Side Delts
📋 How to Perform
- Begin in the top of a pushup position with your hands directly beneath your shoulders.
- Your body should form a straight line from your shoulders to your ankles.
- Tighten your abs and lift one leg off the ground until it's at hip height, pausing for a moment before returning to the starting position.
⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Rotating the hips toward the lifted leg, which turns the anti-rotation challenge into a twist.
- Lifting the leg above hip height, which arches the lower back instead of working the glute.
- Letting the hips sag toward the floor, which loads the lower back instead of the core.
