Frog Pump

Soles of the feet together, knees wide: pulse the hips up in short reps; the frog stance biases the glutes over the hamstrings.

How to do it

Setup

On your back, soles of the feet TOGETHER, knees dropped wide.

Steps

  1. Pulse the hips up in short quick reps.
  2. Squeeze the glutes at each top.
  3. Keep the feet glued together throughout.

Common mistakes

Slow grinding reps: the frog pump is a high-rep pump; keep the rhythm. Feet drifting apart: together is the position. Lower back doing the lift: small range, glutes only.

Breathing

Short exhales on each pulse.
