Technique

How to perform Kneeling Glute Mob

  1. Start on your hands and knees with both knees bent and your hands supporting your upper body.
  2. Hook one ankle behind the opposite knee, keeping the rear leg bent rather than stretching it out into a pigeon position.
  3. Keep that crossed-leg arrangement and slowly rock your hips backward toward your heels.
  4. Stop the backward movement before you lose the setup, then rock forward to the starting position.
  5. Repeat the controlled backward-and-forward motion without forcing the crossed knee.
  6. Unhook the ankle, switch the crossed-leg arrangement and repeat on the other side.
