Coach's Tips

This move targets your glutes and hamstrings.

1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and lightly hold onto a wall or equipment with one hand.

2. Shift your weight onto the supporting leg while preparing to lightly extend the other leg back.

1. Slowly lift one leg back while keeping the upper body mostly still.

2. Squeeze your glutes and feel like you are pushing your heel back.

3. Make sure the leg doesn't rise too high above the torso, and slowly lower it.

4. Alternate between both legs.

Exhale when kicking your leg back, and inhale when lowering it.

1. Engage your core and keep your upper body upright to avoid bending at the waist.

2. Instead of kicking your legs far and wide, move only within the range that stimulates your hips.

3. If you find it difficult to balance, it's okay to hold onto a support with both hands while proceeding.
