Runners Butt Kick
The runner's butt kick is a dynamic in-place drill where you snap each heel up toward your glutes in a running rhythm, working the hamstrings and glutes. It doubles as light cardio and a way to loosen up the legs before a harder session. Done quickly, it also reinforces good running mechanics.
How to do it
- 1
Stand with feet shoulder-width apart and knees slightly bent.
- 2
Keep your core tight, chest up and eyes forward.
- 3
Pump your arms in a running motion as you lift one knee.
- 4
Fold that leg beneath you and squeeze the hamstring to bring the heel toward your glute.
- 5
Quickly return that foot to the floor and repeat with the other leg.
- 6
Keep a fast tempo, alternating legs for the full set.
