Retracting the leg while standing

How to perform a standing leg pull-back?

The movement is performed by:

• the glutes and back of the thighs

Additionally, it works:

• the core muscles (stabilize the body)

Starting position:

Insert your legs into a band loop and place it at the level of your lower thighs. Stand on your right leg, with your left foot just beside your left foot and off the ground. Knees slightly bent, torso slightly leaning forward, but your back straight. Tighten your abs and bring your hands together in front of your chest.

Movement: Keeping your torso still, straighten your left leg back. Bring it back to the starting position. Repeat, and then repeat with the other leg.

Directions: Keep your back straight, abs tight. Keep your torso and hips still.

You will need a band to perform this exercise.
