Last routine of side kicks for the perfect 10 figure.

HOT POTATO

Preparation: Lying on your side you will have to keep the torso still and the legs extended straight out of the hip socket on the floor.

Action: Lift the top leg forward by about six inches in front of the bottom leg and tap the big toe twice on the floor. Now make a half circle arc and bring the top leg behind the lower leg and tap the big toe twice again to complete a repetition. Moving the top leg slightly higher than the hip, bring it back in front and tap twice as before and then repeat the same at the back. Add some more dynamics to it by moving the legs faster so that you can feel the burn…do not forget to breathe. Complete 10 reps.

CIRCLING THE INNER THIGHS:

Preparation: From the hot potato bend the top leg and place your foot flat on the mat in front of the extended knee.

Action: Raise your bottom leg two inches off the mat and draw a circle the size of a cantaloupe with the inner thigh. Complete five clockwise circles and five counter-clockwise circles.

Benefits: This ends the series on side kicks. Please go through each exercise on both sides. All the exercises are beneficial for your legs, thighs, hips and buttocks.
