This inverted hip extension with push-up will take you there.

Start in a high plank position (with your legs extended or knees down on the floor). Extend your left leg diagonally toward the ceiling, and then bend your elbows by your sides, lowering your chest to the floor. Push back up and press back, lifting your hips into a 3-Legged Dog (body in an inverted V position). Do 8 to 10 reps, then switch sides and repeat. Complete a total of 3 sets, resting for 30 seconds to 1 minute between each.
