Diamond Kicks Instructions
1. Lie on your back with your arms by your sides, raise the legs toward the ceiling, bend the knees and bring the soles of your feet together (like a frog).
2. Extend the legs out to the sides as far as possible, and then squeeze the inner thighs to bring them together.
3. Return to the frog position and repeat until the set is complete.
Proper Form And Breathing Pattern
Engage your core, keep your back flat, look up and maintain your head and neck neutral. Start with your legs in a frog position, extend them out to the sides, and engage the inner thighs. Breathe out as you bring both legs together, and then inhale as you bend the knees and return to the frog position.
