Butt Kicks is a standing flowing stretch for your ankles, calves and core.
Step by step

- 2Start a gentle jog on the spot.
What you should feel
Stay light on the balls of your feet.
Form tips
- Knees point down, not forward. Stay on the balls of your feet. Arms move with the rhythm.
- Let your breath find its own pace.
- Feel the fronts of your thighs warming.
Make it easier
If your knees or ankles are sensitive, march and lift your heels slowly.
Coming out of it
Let it slow down… to a walk… and stillness.
Muscles it works
Move slowly and stop if anything hurts. This is general guidance, not medical advice; check with a professional if you're injured or recovering.
