ABDUCTORS

Fire Hydrant Circle

BeginnerBodyweight

A bodyweight drill on all fours that targets the hips and glutes, working one side at a time. Circling the raised leg adds a mobility element on top of the strength work. Training each side alone makes it easier to spot and fix left-to-right imbalances.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Get on all fours with your hands under your shoulders and knees under your hips.

  2. 2

    Squeeze your glutes and hamstrings to lift one leg up and back, keeping about a 90-degree bend at the knee.

  3. 3

    Use your hip muscles to rotate the leg out to the side until your inner thigh faces the floor.

  4. 4

    Circle the leg through a controlled range, then lower it slowly back to the start while keeping tension in your hip.

  5. 5

    Keep your core braced and back flat throughout, then switch sides.
