How to Standing Dumbbell Side Kick
Starting Position
1. Stand with a light dumbbell in each hand at hip-width apart.
2. Keep your arms relaxed by your sides and open your chest.
3. Shift your weight onto one foot and get ready.
Proper Form
1. Fix the leg with weight on it and slowly lift the opposite leg to the side.
2. Keep your toes pointed outward and your knees slightly bent without locking them.
3. Feel the strength in your hip as you slowly lower your leg.
4. Alternate between both sides.
Breathing Technique
Exhale when lifting your legs and inhale when lowering them.
Precautions
1. If the dumbbell is too heavy, your upper body may lean, so start lightly.
2. Do not fully lock your knees; keep them slightly soft.
3. Engage your core to prevent your torso from leaning towards the dumbbell.
