00:00This exercise is the dolphin kicks.
00:03It's going to strengthen your glutes and low back.
00:07It's a hip extension exercise.
00:08You're going to have the patient lie prone on the table
00:11with their legs hanging off.
00:13So they're right at the hip.
00:16So like so, legs are hanging off.
00:19You can hold onto the table for stability, for support if they need to.
00:22And he's going to extend his legs.
00:24Like so, keeping the legs straight, knees straight.
00:27Bring them up and back down.
00:29Make sure there's no arch in the lower back at all.
00:31It's all coming from the glutes.
00:32He's squeezing his glutes.
00:35We'll do about two sets of ten for these.
00:37We'll make sure that, yeah, there's no recruitment of the lower back muscles.
00:41No pain in the lower back with this one.
00:43If you start to feel pain, just don't have them bring their legs up as high.
00:48And to progress, you can add a little bit of weight as it gets stronger.
00:52These are the dolphin kicks.
