Exercise of the Week - Side Kick Front and Back

Monday January 8, 2007
SideKick This weeks exercise is a "pull it all together" exercise. You are going to have to zip it up, use your powerhouse, and keep those abdominals engaged to stabilize the shoulders and pelvis as the leg swings in opposition.

Side Kick Front and Back works the back extensor muscles, the abdominals, the hamstrings - toning the abdominals, back, hips and thighs.
