How to Do

How to Do Extension of the Quadruped Hips

The extension of the quadruped hips should begin with good posture to avoid injury. Brace the spine by drawing your lower abdomen inward. Your core muscles should be activated to support your posture as you perform the exercise.

If any pain is experienced, immediately stop the extension of the quadruped hips.

Beginning

Beginning Extension of the Quadruped Hips

1. Get down on your hands and knees and straighten your spine and abs such that your body creates a straight line from shoulders to hips.

2. Squeeze your glutes to raise one leg until it forms a straight line with your torso, keeping your back flat. Lower the leg to the starting position after a brief pause.

Movement

Extension of the Quadruped Hips Movement

1. Begin by lying down in a quadruped position (on your hands and knees).

2. To stabilize the spine, tighten your core and contract your abs.

3. Concentrate on tightening the right glute.

4. Slowly raise the right leg while maintaining a 90-degree knee bend.

5. Lower to the starting position slowly and repeat 10 reps on each side.

Benefits

Extension of the Quadruped Hips Benefits

The extension of the quadruped hips is an excellent workout for waking up your slumbering buttocks and glutes. It's preferable to do the hip extension in a quadruped position to isolate the gluteus and limit hamstring involvement.
