How to perform it

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 01Lie on your back in a streamlined position with your legs together and lower back gently controlled against the floor.
  2. 02Brace your trunk and point your toes while keeping your knees soft rather than rigid.
  3. 03Initiate a small wave from your hips and move both legs upward and downward together.
  4. 04Keep the kick compact and rhythmic without separating your feet or driving only from your knees.
  5. 05Continue for the assigned time while maintaining trunk control and reducing the range if your back begins to arch.
