Warm up
Walk briskly, march on the spot, or shadowbox lightly until you feel warm. Start easy.
A little movement, every day. Build the hip mobility and control to make your kicks feel more natural—one comfortable rep at a time.
Check off each move as you go.
Walk briskly, march on the spot, or shadowbox lightly until you feel warm. Start easy.
Hold a wall or chair. Gently swing one leg forward and back, then side to side. Start low and keep your body steady as the range increases.
On hands and knees, straighten one leg to the side. Slowly move your hips back until you feel a gentle inner-thigh stretch, then return. Avoid twisting.
Sit with knees bent and hands behind you. Slowly move both knees from side to side. Use your hands for support; your legs don't need to form perfect angles.
Hold a chair or wall. Lift one knee to a comfortable height, pause, then lower slowly. Stay tall rather than leaning back.
Kneel on a towel with the other foot in front. Gently tuck your pelvis and squeeze the glute on the kneeling side. Shift forward slightly, stay tall, and breathe.
Start with 1 set of 8–12 per side, building to 2 sets. Lift your top leg a little and lower slowly without rolling your hips. Leave at least a day between these sessions.
