Back Kick for Martial Arts Fitness
Next we're going to do a back kick, which is just like it sounds, the kick going straight back. I added some 5 pound ankle weights if you want to get more of a workout. You're going to hold the desk or something that is sturdy and that can support you so you don't fall over. You're going to pick up your knee and put it right by the other knee. You're going to look behind you, always look behind you, because anybody walking up behind you or any target you need to see where it is. You're going to kick and then put it down. I'm going to do it slow. If you're not that flexible, you can just do it straight back like that. See my foot? You want your foot to be this way. If it's this way, it's a side kick. This is a back kick. So you're going to lift your knee, look behind you, shoot your kick up, and put it down. Why don't you do 15 on one side, and then when you're done you're doing to do the other side. Same thing. You're going to lift your knee up, look behind you, shoot it up, and put it down. One more time. You're going to look behind you, shoot it up, put it down.
