Steps

1. Begin with StrongBoard Balance in lateral position and place your right foot across the center of the StrongBoard platform, covering the logo.

3. Holding this position and hinging forward from the hips, swing your leg out in front of you, straight leg high kick (hip flexion). Immediately, let the leg drop and swing behind you, like a pendulum (hip extension). Keep hips square and glutes engaged.

4. Repeat for desired number of repetitions or duration. Switch legs and repeat.

 

Tips

Keep abs braced during the entire movement. Stabilize hips through dynamic portion of exercise. The swing should be in the sagittal plane. For more of a challenge you can add weight. You can also slow tempo of swing.
