Instructions
1. Begin by standing straight with your feet shoulder-width apart. Keep your arms bent comfortably in front of you or on your hips for balance.
2. Shift your weight onto one leg, keeping your knee slightly bent for stability.
3. Lift your opposite foot off the ground and bend your knee to bring your heel toward your glutes, engaging your hamstring muscles.
4. Then, extend your leg backward in a kicking motion, squeezing your glutes at the end of the movement without arching your back.
5. Return your leg to the starting position with control, and without placing your foot back on the ground.
6. Repeat the motion for a set number of repetitions.
7. Switch legs and perform the same number of repetitions on the other side.
8. Continue alternating legs for the desired number of sets.
Make sure to keep your core engaged throughout the exercise to maintain balance and stability. Also, perform the kicks with controlled movements to prevent any swinging or jerking motions that could lead to injury.
