How to perform it
- Lie on your back with your partner kneeling beside you.
- Flex the hip of one leg, raising it off of the floor. Rotate the leg so the foot is over the opposite hip, the lower leg perpendicular to your body. Your partner should hold the knee and ankle in place. This will be your starting position.
- Attempt to push your leg towards your partner, who should be preventing any actual movement of the leg.
- After 10-20 seconds, completely relax as your partner gently pushes the ankle and knee towards your chest. Be sure to inform your helper when the stretch is adequate to prevent injury or overstretching.
Muscles worked

Make it count toward your goal
Random sets rarely move the needle. In NYUS, the Lying Glute slots into a plan built for your goal — sets and reps set in the plan, logged in two taps, and folded into a weekly check-in that adjusts your calories, macros and step goal.
