Butt Kicks

Reference prescription

None

Butt kicks over 10 yards, there and back. They prepare the knee fold, which is the front half of the stride.

Key points

  • The heel rises as you bend the knee, not by pulling the thigh backward.
  • The thigh should remain almost vertical: if it moves backward, the form is incorrect.

Common mistakes

  • Pulling your thigh back to touch your butt: you’re training the opposite of running.
  • Leaning forward to bring the heel closer.
