Primary muscles: Glutes

Secondary muscles: Hamstrings, Lower Back

How to do it

  1. Start off by lying on the floor.
  2. Extend one leg straight and pull the other knee to your chest. Hold under the knee joint to protect the kneecap.
  3. Gently tug that knee toward your nose.
  4. Switch sides. This stretches the buttocks and lower back of the bent leg and the hip flexor of the straight leg.

Track it with MyoAmigo

MyoAmigo pre-fills every set of the One Knee To Chest 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.
