How to do side lift and kick

Coach's Tips

This exercise helps boost balance and coordination, while also strengthening the muscles in your thighs and hips using your own body weight.

Start Position

1. Begin by standing with feet aligned under your hips, knees softly bent, and arms relaxed at your sides.

2. Maintain an upright chest, with shoulders relaxed and pulled back, keeping your eyes looking forward.

Proper Form

1. Raise your right arm to shoulder level and extend your left leg sideways.

2. Bring everything back to the initial position, then switch sides and repeat.

3. Keep alternating sides for the targeted count of repetitions.

Breathing Technique

1. Inhale deeply as you raise your arm and extend your leg.

2. Exhale as you return to the original stance.

Precautions

1. Ensure your core muscles are engaged throughout the movement.

2. Avoid locking your knees when standing.

3. Move deliberately and with control to prevent muscle strain.
