Coaching cues
Form tips
The key to this exercise is slow, controlled movement. Kick one leg back while keeping it straight, and then slowly return it to the starting position. Avoid the common mistake of snapping the leg back quickly or using momentum to move the leg, as this can strain the muscles and won't provide the desired results.
As you perform the kickback, keep your core muscles engaged. This will help maintain balance and stability, and also work your abs. A common mistake is to let your stomach sag or to not engage your core, which can lead to back strain.
