Roundhouse Kick/Squat - works outer & inner thighs, quads & hamstrings

 

Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, knees soft.

Hold fists under chin, palms in and elbows near rib cage, shoulders relaxed.

Pivot 45 degrees to the right.

Extend left leg out to side, pointing toes to the floor.

Do a roundhouse kick: Lift left knee as high as you comfortably can, turning outer thigh to face ceiling.

Extend leg, then retract it, keeping toes pointed.

Lower leg and pivot back to start, so toes point forward.
