Side Kick-Through — abs compound exercise in the LIFTAG library

Side Kick-Through

Compound · Weight × reps · Time

Begin in a bear position with knees hovering and hands under shoulders. Shift weight into one hand and the opposite foot, lift the other hand, and rotate the pelvis as the free leg threads across the body toward the open side. The side kick-through trains rotational coordination, shoulder and triceps support, hip mobility, and trunk control. Learn the weight transfer slowly, shorten the kick if needed, and use a clear non-slip surface.
