Side-Kick Bent-Leg

Bent Leg Side Kick Instructions

Positioning:
1. Start on all fours, with your hands placed directly under your shoulders and your knees under your hips.
2. Ensure your back is flat and your core is engaged to maintain stability throughout the movement.

Movement:
1. From the starting position, lift your right knee off the ground, keeping it bent at around a 90-degree angle.
2. Turn your right knee outward while keeping your foot flexed. Your outer thigh should be engaged.
3. Extend your right leg outward in a controlled manner, aiming to kick towards the side without losing balance. Your leg should be in line with your hip.
4. Slowly bring your right leg back down to the starting position.
5. Repeat the movement for 10-15 repetitions on the right side.
6. Switch to the left side and repeat the same process.

Tips for Beginners:
- Move at a comfortable pace and focus on form rather than speed.
- Keep your core tight throughout the exercise to avoid sagging in your lower back.
- If necessary, perform the exercise in front of a mirror to check your form.
