This is an excellent exercise for a tight bum and shapely thighs.

Hip Extensions on All 4's
Start Position:
Kneel on a mat, knees hip distance apart. Place your elbows and forearms on the mat, elbows shoulder distance apart and directly below the shoulders. Keeping the hips parallel to the floor, straighten one leg with the toes touching the ground.

Exercise:
Keeping the tummy tight, inhale. On the exhalation, extend the leg using your buttocks and hamstring muscles. Extend the leg as high as you can, keeping the hips parallel to the floor. Return to start position and repeat. Repeat 15 to 20 times on each leg.
