How to Do a Hydrant Leg Lift

Doing a hydrant leg lift sounds funny and looks even funnier, but there is nothing funny about a flabby buttocks. Who doesn’t hate the large rear end and long for something more? After all we have all struggled to tighten up the buttocks and transform it from something we hide with baggy jeans to a perfectly defined muscle we show off. Well, the hydrant move is certainly one way to get on the right track.

Instructions

    • 1

      Kneel on the floor on all fours to begin the exercise; that means on hands and knees. Make sure the hands are directly under the shoulders and knees are positioned under the hips.

    • 2

      Lift the right leg up directly off the floor. Keep the leg bent at the knee as the entire leg should be lifted up. At this point the leg is still positioned under the body.

    • 3

      Lift the leg outward from the body, but keep it bent at the knee. The left and right leg should be forming a right angle starting with the left leg that is still on floor and the right leg which is extended straight outward from the body, bent at the knee.

    • 4

      Kick the right leg away from the body. At this stage the right leg will be straight from the body and still lifted up in the air. The position is nearly the same as in Step 3, but with the leg straightened not bent at the knee.

      Bend the leg again at the knee, lower to the floor and quickly lift back up in the air (Step 3) and then extend the leg straight (Step 4).
