Equipment
Lift your right knee up to hip height in front of you, bending it at a 90-degree angle.
Then, swing your right knee out to the side, keeping the 90-degree angle.
Kick your right leg out to the side, straightening it while keeping your foot flexed.
Return your leg to the starting position and repeat the exercise for the desired number of repetitions before switching to the left leg.
Pro Tip
**Controlled Movements**: Avoid the common mistake of rushing through the movements. Each kick should be slow and controlled, focusing on the muscle groups you are working on - your glutes and hips.
