Butt Kicks

Technique

Setup

Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart and your arms bent as if running. Stay light on the balls of your feet.

Movement

Jog in place, kicking each heel up toward your glutes while your knees point down at the floor. Pump your arms in rhythm and keep a quick, steady pace for the full time.

Form Tip

Stay tall and keep your knees under your hips; leaning forward or swinging the knees out in front turns it into a sloppy jog.

Increase Difficulty

Speed up, or travel forward and back across the room.

Decrease Difficulty

March in place, curling one heel up at a time without the hop.
