Description

In a standing position, bend your arm with the elbow and your foot against a wall, feet shoulder-width apart. Exhale while compressing your abdomen, pushing your elbow against the wall, and spreading your feet (which should not move). You should feel a contraction in the center of the gluteus. Hold the position for one to two breaths, as recommended, then release. Make sure to maintain a neutral spine and pelvis throughout the exercise.
