If you workout at a gym, you can try balancing yourself on a wobble board as well.
Try to do at least 3 sets on each leg. Use proper form and keep your balance the whole time as you do this exercise.
It’s super important to go slowly as you get into this stretch. If you move too quickly, you could end up injuring yourself. As you get more flexible, you’ll be able to lower down onto your elbows. This stretch opens up your hips and inner groin area.
Planks help to strengthen your core so you can lift your leg higher. Eventually, work your way up to holding the plank for 30 seconds to 1 minute at a time. If you’re working on a hard floor, put a yoga mat underneath you for some cushion.
This will help loosen up your hips and groin area to improve your flexibility. These lunges will also help you strengthen your glutes and your quads.
You can work up to doing 3 reps on each leg. This movement helps to open up your hips and stretch your groin while also building muscle in your legs.
Try to keep swinging higher and higher as you go back and forth to improve your flexibility.
Do this exercise 12 times before moving onto your other leg. Try to work up to doing 3 reps on each side.
You might feel some discomfort, but stretching should never hurt! If you feel an intense amount of pain, let go and relax. Don’t forget to warm up before you stretch! Start with 5 to 10 minutes of high knees, jumping jacks, or running in place so you don’t hurt yourself.
Higher kicks won’t happen overnight, and that’s okay! Keep working toward them to improve over time. Make sure you’re practicing with the correct form. It will be much easier to kick higher if you’re holding your body correctly.
