Side Kick Leg Lifts (Patreon)

• LMA Curriculum

Use a wall for balance. Turn your inside foot toward the wall. Flex your outside foot and keep it perpendicular to your inside foot in a reverse L-stance. Engage your abs and glutes and lift your outside leg while bending sideways with your torso. Remember to keep your foot flexed just as you would for the side kick. Look toward your kick and extend your arm to help counterbalance your weight.

To be flexible in splitting your legs apart also means strengthening your hips and glutes.

Exhale as you bring your leg up.
