The Side Kick

The Side Kick gif

How to The Side Kick

Starting Position

1. Lie on your side and support your head with your lower arm.

2. Align your torso, pelvis, and legs in a straight line, and use your upper hand to support yourself on the floor in front.

Proper Form

1. Lift your upper leg forward and then slowly send it back while tightening your glutes.

2. Keep your upper body and pelvis as still as possible by engaging your core.

3. After the specified number of repetitions, perform the same on the opposite side.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when kicking your leg forward and inhale when sending it back, maintaining the rhythm.

Precautions

1. Engage your core to prevent your waist from moving.

2. Keep your legs straight to avoid bending your knees and ankles.

3. Focus on maintaining the correct line and core stability rather than making large movements.
