Band Donkey Kicks Instructions
1. Get down on all fours, wrap the resistance band around your left foot and grab the other end of the band with both hands.
2. Kick back with your left leg and squeeze the glutes.
3. Bend the knee, lower the leg and repeat this movement for the duration of the set.
4. Switch legs and repeat.
Proper Form And Breathing Pattern
Position your hands under the shoulders and your knees under the hips, tighten the core and keep your back straight. Exhale as you increase tension in the resistance band and kick back. Don’t raise your leg any higher than your hip and inhale as you lower the leg back to the initial position.
