Just get on all fours, then left one leg up, keeping the knee at a 90 degree angle. Your hamstring and back should be parallel, with your foot and calf perpendicular. Bring your leg back down, then do the other one. If it gets too easy, you can use ankle weights to add to the exercise.

eener Posts: 25 Joined: 2001/10/12	2001/11/01, 09:40 AM It's a very controlled movement, with only 5lb weight if even, lower back is pretty much supported on bench, if anything will strengthen lower back muscles same concept as supermans. Don't rush or swing sloooow and steady wins the race. But of course if you do have back problems I could see where it may aggrevate trial and error, that's all you can do :)

I get my cardio out of the way and the kicking motion you use is all butt and hips! This also works your shoulders though so those of you who don't want broad shoulders should avoid this.
