Dumbbell Donkey Kick
DUMBELL DONKEY KICK
The dumbbell donkey kick is a hip extensor strengthening exercise. Start by strapping a dumbbell to your foot using a Dumbbell Foot Strap. Then go on your hands and knees on a padded surface like an exercise mat or yoga mat. Keep the core braced and spine in neutral as you extend one leg out behind you. Extend the hip without extending the back and return to starting position to complete a repetition. Be sure to keep the pelvis squared forwards during this exercise.
