Criss Cross Kicks
Starting Posture
Start by lying on your back with your hands placed under your glutes for support. Lift your legs up towards the ceiling, keeping them straight and together.
How to Exercise
Keeping your legs straight, cross your right leg over your left leg and then kick them apart before bringing them back together. Repeat this motion, crossing and kicking in the opposite direction with your left leg over your right leg.
Breath Control
Inhale as you bring your legs together, and exhale as you kick them apart. Focus on breathing in a controlled and steady manner throughout the exercise.
Common errors
Common errors include bending the knees or swinging the legs using momentum. Be mindful of your form and focus on controlled movements.
