Lying Double Leg Kick
Face down with the hands clasped behind the back, both heels kick toward the buttocks, then the legs stretch long as the chest lifts and the arms reach back.
How to do it
Setup
Face down, legs together, one cheek on the floor, hands clasped high on the lower back, elbows resting down.
Steps
- Kick both heels toward the buttocks.
- Stretch the legs long and lift the chest, reaching the clasped hands toward the feet.
- Lower the chest, turn the head to the other cheek and repeat.
Common mistakes
Throwing the chest up with the lower back: lengthen forward first, then lift. Legs flying off the floor as the chest rises: keep them heavy and long. Elbows lifting during the kicks: let them rest down until the reach.
Breathing
Exhale on the kicks, inhale lifting the chest.
