QUADS

Butt Kick

BeginnerBodyweight

A fast bodyweight drill that flicks the heels up to the glutes in a jog-in-place pattern, waking up the hamstrings and getting the blood moving. It sharpens running mechanics and adds a cardio spike, which makes it useful as a warm-up primer or inside a conditioning circuit.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Stand tall, feet about hip-width apart, resting the backs of your hands against your glutes.

  2. 2

    Fold one knee fast so your heel taps the palm of your hand.

  3. 3

    Return that foot to the floor and immediately fire the other heel up to meet the opposite palm.

  4. 4

    Keep alternating at a brisk, springy pace while staying light on your feet.

  5. 5

    Maintain an upright chest and let your arms stay relaxed throughout.
