Notes
This exercise works your lower body. If done properly, you will feel your booty working, especially the top — gluteus maximus.
Try to keep the leg that is in contact with the floor as straight up and down as possible — it should be perpendicular with the floor.
More than likely you will start feeling pressure in your stationary leg. If you concentrate on keeping your stationary leg perpendicular, this will help to lessen that pressure.
