Instructions
- Sit on the floor with your feet flat on the floor, knees bent, and chest out. Place your hands at your sides and slightly behind your hips, pressing your palms to the floor and pointing your fingers away from you.
- Place your palms on the floor and lift your buttocks off the floor as you bend one leg and pull your knee toward your chest.
- Push with your standing heel and lift your hips, so your torso is parallel to the floor. Kick with your leg raised in front of you as you tuck your toe toward your face. Your raised leg should be parallel to the floor. Pause and then return your foot to the floor.
Tips
- Keep your upper body straight and avoid twisting from side to side during the exercise.
- Keep your body straight at the top of the exercise, tensing your glutes and midsection. Avoid sagging hips.
- Be sure to fully straighten your striking leg during each repetition.
