Resisted Kicks

With the band taut and your leg extended slightly forward, squeeze your glutes and kick your leg backwards. Repeat with the other leg.

Tips:

• Keep your leg straight and push from ankle.
• Touch any stationary object for balance.
• Stand tall on your supporting leg.

Variations:

1. Face the opposite direction and kick your leg forward.|ABDUCTOR: Turn 45° so that band is attached to your outside leg (farthest from A.P.). Kick your leg out laterally toward the opposite side.
2. ADDUCTOR: Attach band to your inside leg (closest to A.P.). Kick your leg laterally across the body until it is fully extended to the opposite side.
3. SEATED ABDUCTOR or ADDUCTOR: Perform from a seated position on the floor. Keep legs straight and push from ankle for every variation.
