This exercise will benefit desk-bound lower backs and hips – it’s low-impact, but you’ll feel the burn if you do it properly
A great glute-strengthening exercise that particularly benefits desk-bound lower backs; it will also improve hip mobility, which can get too tight when you’re sitting for too long. I use it at the beginning of my yoga classes to prepare the hamstrings and glutes for the yoga practice ahead: it’s low-impact, but if you’re doing it properly you will feel the burn.
