How to do it

  1. From a lying position, bend your knees and keep your feet on the floor.
  2. Place your ankle of one foot on your opposite knee.
  3. Grasp the thigh or knee of the bottom leg and pull both of your legs into the chest. Relax your neck and shoulders. Hold for 10-20 seconds and then switch sides.

Track it with MyoAmigo

MyoAmigo pre-fills every set of the Ankle On The Knee from last time, charts your estimated 1RM trend so you can see strength move without testing a true max, and flags a stall with a concrete fix. It also credits this work toward your weekly Glutes volume on the MyoMap heatmap. New to the movement? Start with picking a working weight and progressive overload.
