Butt-Ups

Butt-Ups are a core-focused move where you start in a forearm plank, then lift your hips toward the sky in a little pike motion - like you're popping your rump up to wave at the treetops. Then lower back down to a strong, straight plank. It's a sneaky challenge for your lower abs, shoulders, and core control - small movement, big bear results!

Instructions

1. Start in a plank position with forearms and toes on the ground.
2. Engage your core and glutes.
3. Lift your hips towards the ceiling to form an inverted V-shape.
4. Lower your hips back to the plank position.
5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Benefits

• Improves core strength.
• Strengthens the glutes and hamstrings.
• Enhances cardiovascular endurance.

Key Points

• Maintain a straight line from shoulders to heels in the plank position.
• Engage the core throughout the movement.
• Avoid letting the hips sag when returning to the plank position.

Common Mistakes

• Letting the hips sag in the plank position.
• Not engaging the core.
• Bending the knees excessively.
