How to The One Leg Kick
Starting Position
1. Lie on the mat, bend your elbows, and support your upper body with your forearms.
2. Slightly lift your chest and extend your legs to hip-width apart.
Proper Form
1. Bend one knee and kick twice with your toes pointing towards your butt.
2. Slowly straighten your leg to return to the starting position.
3. Alternate with the opposite leg in the same manner.
Breathing Technique
Exhale when you kick your legs twice, and inhale as you stretch your legs and come back.
Precautions

2. Don't lift your legs too high; move within a pain-free range.
3. If you feel tension in your neck and shoulders, lower your upper body slightly.
