High Surfer Kick
Burn fat and build lower-body power with High Surfer Kicks. This dynamic squat-to-side-kick combo targets your glutes, quads, and core while improving balance and coordination.
Instructions
Starting Position
Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, keeping your core engaged and your chest upright.
Squat Phase
Lower your hips back and down into a squat position, as if sitting in a chair, until your thighs are roughly parallel to the floor.
Keep your weight in your heels and your knees aligned over your toes.
The Kick
As you drive back up to a standing position, shift your weight onto one leg.
Simultaneously raise the opposite leg out to the side in a controlled kicking motion, keeping the core tight for balance.
Immediately return the foot to the floor and descend into another squat.
Flow and Tempo
Alternate legs with every repetition.
Maintain a consistent, controlled tempo throughout the movement to maximize the engagement of both the legs and the core stabilizing muscles.
