Lay back in the starting position and repeat. Remember to keep your abs tight while doing this exercise. Do 15 reps with each leg. Rest for 30 seconds.

Lunge Kicks-Stand with your feet once again hip width apart, and your arms hanging by yours side, but this time bend your elbows. Lunge forward with your left leg first, while swinging your right arm to the front, and your left arm to the back. Do 20 reps altogether, alternating legs.
Sumo Kick-Stand with your feet hip width apart, and turn your toes in just a little bit. Bend your elbows, keeping them close to your sides, and hold your fists in front of your chest.
