Show Notes

Both drills are prone posterior-chain exercises.

One Leg Kick emphasizes hamstring curl + hip extension on a Sphinx/forearm support with thoracic lift.
Double Leg Kick adds bilateral knee flexion pulses with a coordinated thoracic extension reach (hands behind back).

They balance flexion-heavy ab blocks, pattern glute–ham synergy, and train scapular organization with a quiet pelvis.
