Donkey Kicks

Hook the elasticated band over your heel and secure the two ends under your hands. On all fours, straighten your leg upwards and backwards, stretching the elasticated band. Keep your back straight and avoid tilting your pelvis. Swap the band to the other foot and repeat.

Do 3 sets of 12 repetitions per leg. Rest for 30 seconds between sets.

The tension in the elasticated band gives your foot something to push against, increasing the intensity of the exercise. This helps to tone and strengthen your glutes and leg muscles, and also strengthen your back muscles. If you don’t have an elasticated band you can still do this exercise without one.

Do you find that your active lifestyle causes or is hindered by sore muscles or stiff joints? Atrosan Devil’s Claw helps to relieve muscle and joint pain throughout the body, which is great for chronic, long term pain.

Alternatively, Atrogel Arnica Gel is a topical pain relief that can be applied directly to affected areas to soothe stiffness and pain – perfect for when you've overdone it!

Remember to always follow a doctor or physiotherapist’s advice when it comes to exercising with an injury or joint condition.
