Donkey Kicks Bodyweight is a bodyweight exercise targeting Glutes (gluteus maximus, gluteus mideus).
Step by step
How to perform it
- Begin on all fours in a tabletop position with your knees hip-width apart on the floor, hands under your shoulders, and your back flat.
- Keeping your knee bent at a 90-degree angle, lift your right leg up towards the ceiling, driving your heel upward as if pushing against the sky.
- Push your leg up until your thigh is in line with your body and your foot is above your knee.
- Lower your leg slowly back to the starting position without letting your knee touch the floor. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions before switching to the left leg.
