Alternating Hamstring Curl with Punch
Step to one side and curl the other heel up behind you as you throw a punch; a low-impact aerobic step done side to side.
How to do it
Setup
Standing, feet wider than the hips, fists up at the chest.
Steps
- Shift onto one foot and curl the other heel toward the glutes.
- Punch with one arm as the heel rises.
- Step back down wide and repeat to the other side.
Common mistakes
Bending forward to get the heel up: the thigh stays down and the torso tall. Punching to a locked elbow: keep it soft at the end. Standing knee locked: keep it soft.
Breathing
Exhale on each punch.
