Instructions

  1. Get into a tabletop position on the floor with your arms below your shoulders and your knees below your hips. Prepare your abs to form a straight line from your shoulders to your hips. Raise your left leg and place your left knee in the crook of your right leg.
  2. Then straighten your leg and take your heel as far back as possible. Lower your knee back to the crease of your leg.

Tips

  • Be sure to fully extend your kicking leg during each rep and contract your glutes at the top of the movement.
  • Try not to rotate your hips up or down during the exercise. Keep your hips level throughout the entire set.
  • Avoid overstretching your lower back at the top of the movement.
