Side Kicks Lying on Your Side PDF Print E-mail

Work your glutes with this variation of a side kick.

  • Lie on you side with your knees bent
  • Support your weight on your forearm and the elbow closest to the ground
  • Keep your elbow directly under your shoulder for maximum support
  • Keep your hips lifted off the ground
  • Extend your top leg, keeping shoulders stacked, and your hips stacked one on top of the other
  • Extend the kick through the heel keeping your foot flexed during the extension
  • Drop your hips down as you pull in by bending your knee, and lift hips off the ground with kick extension
  • Repeat 2 sets of 10 on each side
  • To add more difficulty: add an arm reach overhead with the extension and hip lift, pull the arm in towards your body as you pull your kick in
