Now let's focus on the backs of our legs and our glut muscles with the Back Kick. Once
again, we are starting with both bands wrapped around your feet, in a nice, strong, stable
position, feet flat on the ground underneath your shoulders. We're going to balance on
our left side, keeping our right leg straight and bringing it back as far as we can. You
won't be able to lift it very high off the ground naturally, that's fine. So, back as
far as you can, squeezing that glut, and then back forward. Notice how Raychelle is doing
a great job of keeping herself nice and stable as she goes back and forward. If you're having
trouble with balance on this, you can always do it with your hand braced up against the
wall, that's fine. As you get stronger, you can move further away from the wall. Do a
few more for them, Raychelle—all the way back, really squeezing that glut muscle, and
all the way forward. Do one more—all the way back, keeping that leg straight, but not
locked out, so a nice strong, but soft knee and then back to the starting position. Do
15 to 20 reps each leg a few times a week. It's good stuff.
