GLUTES

Side Leg Kick

BeginnerBodyweight

A side-lying bodyweight move that mainly works the glutes along with the hip flexors. Lifting the top leg pre-loads the glute, and swinging it front to back drives extra activation through a full range. It's a simple way to wake up the hips before heavier work.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Lie on one side with your top hand on the floor for balance.

  2. 2

    Fire your glute and hip to lift the top leg, keeping your core tight.

  3. 3

    Swing the leg forward using your hip flexors and quad.

  4. 4

    Swing it back behind you by squeezing the hip and glute.

  5. 5

    Keep the leg straight and your foot parallel to the floor, then repeat and switch sides.
