Donkey Kicks. Start on all fours,
hands shoulder-width and knees hip-width apart. Keeping one knee on the floor,
weight evenly distributed in the both hands and the other knee about 2 inches
in from the hip joint. Squeeze your glutes, pulling the heal towards the ceiling,
notice the knee keeps its 90 degree angle through the entire motion. Slowly
return to starting position. Repeat this 15 to 20 times and switch legs! (photo pbfingers)
Hydrant. HAHAHAHA, I am immature and this name
makes me laugh! Again, begin on all fours, hands shoulder-width and knees
hip-width apart. Keep one knee on the floor, weight evenly distributed in the
both hands. The other knee lifts, from the hip joint, to the side until your
inner thigh is parallel with the floor. It is important that you do not rotate
through the spine and avoid drawing the knee any closer to the chest. You may
not be able to get the leg parallel to the floor, that is okayReturn to the
starting position with your knee only slightly off the floor. Repeat this 15-
20 times and then switch legs.
Chair Kicks. These are similar to the donkey kick,
however, the base leg (one on the floor) will also get a little workout while stabilizing..
Get a chair and face it away from you. Stand a little less than arms-length away
with your feet hip width and hold the chair for balance. Lift your leg behind
you, keeping the knee of the base leg “soft” (about a 5% degree bend. Squeeze
your glutes and make sure to keep your hips square to the chair. Raise your leg
as high as you can, WITHOUT ARCHING THE BACK, then lower to the starting position.
Repeat this move 15-20 times and switch legs. (PIC CREDITS ARE PBFINGERS AND CHRISTIAN CARL)
