Alternating Forward-Kick

Alternate Forward Kick - Plyometrics

Positioning:

1. Stand upright with your feet hip-width apart.

2. Keep your arms bent at the elbows and relaxed by your sides.

3. Engage your core to maintain balance.

**Movement 1. Choose one leg to start with (e.g., right leg).

2. Lift your right knee up towards your chest as you prepare to kick.

3. Extend your right leg forward in a kicking motion, keeping your foot flexed.

4. Quickly bring your right leg back to the starting position and lower it.

5. Immediately lift your left knee to repeat the kick with your left leg.

6. Alternate kicking legs in a fluid motion, keeping your movements controlled and balanced.

7. Aim for a rhythmic pace; you can start slowly and increase your speed as you’re comfortable.

Tips:

• Keep your upper body straight but relaxed; avoid leaning too far back or forward.

• Focus on using your hip flexors and quadriceps to power the kick.

• Ensure the kicks are high enough to engage your muscles properly, but don’t sacrifice form for height.

• Start with 10-15 kicks per leg, and adjust the repetitions based on your fitness level.
