Weighted Fire Hydrants

This exercise is the same as regular hydrants, but with a bit more "umph" - challenge.  Ankle weights are used for this version. Wrap the ankle weights around your left ankle. 

Then, get down on all fours, raise your left leg, knees bent, your thigh is parallel to the floor, then lower your leg back down to the starting position.

Do as many as you can do. Maintain proper form, especially since you have added weight for this version. Repeat the other side.

Remember to stretch after this exercise and all others that you do.
