Challenge of the Week- Donkey Kicks

Donkey Kicks are a great beginner exercise that works one of the largest muscles in the body- the glutes. This is an area most people want to tone, and it's a pretty easy exercise. You can do these anytime and anywhere. No equipment necessary. So this week the goal is to do 2 sets of 15 every day. Your ass will thank you! :)

Get on all fours on mat (hands under shoulders, knees under hips).

Keeping right knee bent 90 degrees, flex right foot and lift knee to hip level.

Lower knee without touching floor; lift again. Do 15 reps.

Switch legs; repeat.

As with all forms of exercise, you should consult with your physician or healthcare professional before undertaking any of the fitness training discussed in this blog. Any application of the techniques, ideas, and suggestions in this blog should be used as a guideline. Always do a proper warm-up, stretch, and cooldown.
