Lift your tush two inches higher without surgery!

Leg sculpt back (i) inverted Muscles/area activated: butt, hamstrings   Stand on right leg, hold onto ends of Loopz with left hand behind the body and step left foot in middle of band. Hold onto chair with right hand for support. The left leg should be directly behind you, knee bent towards floor and heel bent towards butt. Hips face squarely to chair. Inhale.   Exhale and lift left leg in inverted position as high as you can without caving in at the lower back. Hold position for 5 counts. Bend right leg if need be for added stability and take care not to ‘bounce’ working leg.   Inhale and lower left leg. Repeat 10-20 sets. Repeat other leg.   Pedalling (ii) controlled bend Muscles/area activated: balance, ankle, quads   Place ankles through adjacent loops in middle of band, standing with feet apart enough to feel resistance in the band. Inhale and lift right heel off floor, left supporting leg is straight, though not rigidly so. Protect your lower back by feeling a lift of your hip bones upwards.   Exhale and ‘pedal’ feet by lifting left heel so now both feet are on ‘tip toes’ and then lowering, with control, the right heel towards floor into a bent right knee position. Do not drop heel onto floor. Left heel remains up and both knees are now bent.   Inhale, repeat lifting of heel and straightening of knees into controlled lowering of other heel into bent knee position. Always keep knee in alignment over toes. Avoid supination or pronation of ankles during movement.   Repeat ‘pedalling’ for 20-30 breaths. Inhale and return to starting position.
