Instructions

  1. Starting Position:

    • Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.

    • Engage your core and maintain a straight posture.

    • Bend your knees slightly and hinge forward at your hips, keeping your back flat.

  2. Arm Position:

    • Bend your elbows to 90 degrees and hold your arms close to your body.

    • Your palms should be facing inwards.

  3. Movement Phase:

    • Extend your arms backward, straightening them while keeping your elbows close to your body. This is the kickback motion.

    • As you kick back your arms, simultaneously lift your heels off the ground by engaging your calf muscles.

  4. Return Phase:

    • Slowly return your arms to the starting position by bending your elbows.

    • Lower your heels back to the ground.

  5. Repetition:

    • Perform this movement for 10-15 repetitions.

    • Aim for 2-3 sets with a brief rest (30 seconds to a minute) between sets.

Tips:

  • Focus on controlling the movement rather than rushing through it.

  • Make sure your elbows remain close to your body throughout the exercise.

  • Breathe out as you extend your arms and breathe in as you return to the starting position.
