Straight Leg Kickback

This exercise is much more fun in the water than on dry-land. It is perfect if you want to work your glutes only as this motion isolates gluteal muscles from the rest of your muscles. 

If performed regularly and in combination with other exercises it can help significantly in shaping your glutes. 

Starting Position:
Stand in the shallow-end with straight back and feet shoulder-width apart. Put your hands on your hips and relax your shoulders. 

Action:
Kick back one leg at a time. Keep both your legs straight all the time during this exercise. Point your toes as you kick and flex your feet as you bring your leg toward the starting position. 

Breathing:
Kick one leg with inhale and the other with exhale. 

Targeted Muscles:
Feel your glutes as you kick your legs

Tip: Maintain good posture throughout this exercise.
