Standing Side Kick
About
This kick move works your glutes and outer thighs while training your balance.
How to Standing Side Kick
Starting Position
1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and straight.
2. Lightly hold onto your waist or a wall/pillar with one hand to prepare for balance.
3. Shift your weight onto the supporting leg.
Proper Form
1. Fix the supporting leg and lift the opposite leg to the side.
2. Point your toes outward and feel the muscles next to your hips engage.
3. Slowly lower the leg and return to the starting position.
4. Alternate between both legs.
Breathing Technique
Exhale when lifting your legs and inhale when lowering them.
Precautions
1. Please keep your torso upright so that your waist does not collapse sideways.
2. Focus on whether you feel stimulation next to your hips rather than on height.
3. If balancing is difficult, hold onto a wall and start with a reduced range of motion.
