Weekly Wednesday Workout: Fire Hydrant Leg Exercise
Time to work out those legs!
Okay, so this one is a doosie. There are all kinds of balance, coordination and leg burn involved with this move! I tried it and omg, it is not easy! However, you can feel the work (read: hot fire burn) pretty quickly! The lovely lady in the video makes it look quite easy but there is a lot involved from staying balanced to getting your leg all the way around to simply just keeping it upright. 🙂 This is a great leg toner for anywhere!
Have you ever tried the Fire Hydrant Leg Exercise?

OOOH I ACTUALLY DO AND LOVE THESE.
So Ill just (((share))) with others 🙂
I absolutely hate hydrants of any sort and these look particularly intimidating! BUT, they are exactly what I need to strengthen my hips 🙁
Looks great, but you know me and balance are not friends, so not sure I will be able to do this one without falling or tripping, but I will give it a try still 😉
Those look great! I can’t wait to get my legs toned!

I love this exercise. I usually do it on my hands and knees but I love the balance challenge here!
This would be a great one for me because balance is so important to me. I can totally be a flamingo at times, and other times, my brain psyches me out!
When I first saw the post title, I had visions of the 80s move on all fours. Standing up would be so much more difficult!
