Work that butt!

At our pram camp classes we focus on strengthening and shaping the butt - not just 'cos we all want a great-looking bum (who doesn't?) - but because it's key to building a strong pelvic floor. This yoga-strength exercise is like the 'Superman' except you do it standing up. It's great for working the butt, hamstrings and lower back but it does take good balance to achieve, so take it slowly for the best results.

How?

• Stand on your left leg and take a few seconds to get your balance.
• Extend your left arm out in front of you and your right leg out behind you. Try to keep your right leg as straight as possible without locking the knee.
• Reach out as far as possible and tilt your body over from the waist. You can keep your left arm against your body or let it drop down to the floor.
• Gently straighten up from the waist so you're back into starting position. Repeat with the opposite arm and leg.
• Aim to do four of these on each leg or more if you feel comfortable, and eventually build up to 2 sets of 10-15 on each leg.

TIP: this exercise is suitable for everyone. Just concentrate and take it slowly to make sure you keep your balance.
