// DONKEY KICK //

VARIATIONS

Donkeys do kick from all angles! But you can perform this exercise by using a chair or a wall or rotating your hip for variety.

WITH A WALL

1. Stand facing a wall with your feet shoulder width apart. Place your hands flat on the wall.

2. Extend your left leg backward to form a 45-degree angle with your left leg. Pause, then lower your left leg to the floor. Repeat this step 8 to 10 times. Repeat these steps with your right leg extended backward.

WITH A CHAIR

1. Stand 2 feet behind the back of a chair with your feet shoulder width apart. Place your hands on the back of the chair.

2. Bend at your waist to form a 45-degree angle with your body and extend your right leg backward. Pause, then lower your right leg until your knees align. (Keeping your leg off the floor will help you maintain your momentum.) Repeat this step 8 to 10 times. Repeat these steps with your left leg extended backward.

WITH LATERAL MOVEMENTS

In step 2, extend your right leg toward your right side. Pause, then lower your right leg to the floor. Repeat this step 8 to 10 times. Repeat these steps with your left leg extended to your left side.
