About

It is a workout that can train the muscles on the sides of the hips and thighs. Since hip joints are often used, sufficient stretching is essential!

How to Side Kick Back

Starting Position

1. Kneel down and support your upper body with your arms so that it is parallel to the floor.

2. Open your chest and straighten your back.

Proper Form

1. Raise one leg while keeping the knee at a 90-degree angle, parallel to the ground.

2. Slowly return to the starting position.

3. Proceed one side at a time or alternately.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when you raise your legs, and inhale when you lower them.

Precautions

1. Keep your chest up to avoid bending your waist and engage your core.

2. Be careful not to bend your elbows.
