Basic to Cross Donkey Kick
Expert Advice
Ensure a controlled movement and avoid using momentum to swing the leg; focus on the glutes doing the work.
How-to-do Steps
- Start on all fours with your knees hip-width apart and your hands under your shoulders.
- Lift your right leg up, keeping the knee bent, and kick back like a regular donkey kick.
- After the kick, bring the right leg down and across to tap the floor on the outside of your left knee.
- Return to the starting position and repeat for the desired number of reps before switching legs.
