Standing Kick Back

Starting Position

1. Stand with your feet hip-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.

Proper Form

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

Breathing Technique

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