Instructions

  1. Starting Position:

    • Sit on the floor with your back straight and feet flat on the ground.

    • Bend your knees at a 90-degree angle so that your shins are parallel to the floor.

    • Position your legs so that one leg is in front of you and the other leg is behind you, both bent at the knees.

    • Keep your arms bent at your sides with your elbows close to your body and hands positioned as fists in front of you.

  2. Movement:

    • Engage your core muscles to stabilize your body.

    • Slowly lift the foot of the front leg off the ground while keeping the knee bent at a 90-degree angle.

    • Extend your leg forward in a kick-out motion while straightening it out.

    • Make sure to maintain proper posture with your back straight and shoulders back during the movement.

  3. Return to Starting Position:

    • Bring your leg back into the original 90-degree bent position.

    • Hold the position for a moment before repeating the lift.

  4. Repetitions:

    • Perform 10-15 repetitions on one leg, then switch to the other leg and repeat.

  5. Breathing:

    • Exhale as you lift and extend your leg, and inhale as you return to the starting position.

  6. Tips:

    • Keep your movements controlled to avoid momentum.

    • Adjust your form if you feel discomfort; the goal is to perform the exercise with a focus on stability and control.

    • If you're a beginner, you can start by holding your legs in the bent position before trying the kick-out.
