Alternating Butt Kicks
ALTERNATING BUTT KICKS
This is a running drill that can be used to warm up. Start by gently hopping from one foot to the next. While maintaining an alternating 2 hop rhythm, bend the knee on the third hop to kick the heel towards your buttock. Repeat this pattern for the other leg and continue for roughly 20-30 seconds or until a warm up effect is reached.
