Hey, I'm Layla, and I'm going to show you a Kneeling Roundhouse Kick. You're going to
start off kneeling down on your mat. Make sure when you're kneeling, your shoulders
are aligned with your wrist here, and your knees are directly under your hip area. We're
just going to start off with one leg out to the side right here, and then we're just going
to extend the leg all the way out and then bring it right back. You're just kicking out
to the side, and then bringing it right back in. Kick out to the side, bring it right back
in.
This exercise really targets that glute and the outer hip area here, which is also a part
of your thighs. You're going to bring that knee up, kick out, bring it back, kick out,
bring it back. I recommend doing ten to 12 reps on either side. Other side, take the
knee out to the side, kick it out, bring it back. Out, and bring it back. For this exercise,
make sure whichever leg you're working, you keep all the body weight on that side, so
if you're working the left side, you don't want to let your weight shift over to one
side. You can place both hands together to make it a little bit easier, and make sure
you keep that weight on the left side, if that's the leg that you're working. You really
focus on targeting that glute and that hip area on that left side. That's how you do
the Kneeling Roundhouse Kick.
