Walking high kicks improve hip mobility while increasing flexibility in the glutes and hamstrings. This exercise works well as a warm-up before any physical activity.
Instructions
Stand tall with your legs straight and arms hanging at your sides.
Kick one leg straight out in front of you while reaching for it with the opposite hand. Return the leg to the ground to repeat on the opposite side.
Trainer’s Tips
Avoid leaning too far forward during the exercise. Keep your chest up and shoulders pulled back during the entire movement.
Try to keep the supporting knee completely straight during the exercise.
