Butt Kicks
Run on the spot kicking the heels up to the glutes at a fast pace; the twin of High Knees.
How to do it
Setup
Standing tall, arms ready to pump.
Steps
- Run on the spot, heels kicking up to the glutes.
- Land on the balls of the feet, fast contacts.
- Pump the arms in rhythm.
Common mistakes
Leaning forward to reach the heels: tall torso, the knees stay under the hips. Heels stopping halfway: the glute is the target; kick all the way. Slow flat steps: quick and springy.
Breathing
Fast steady rhythm.
