Side Kick Kneeling

Side kick kneeling challenges your core so it will be prepared when uphills, downhills, or turns take the torso out of the standard upright position:

From a kneeling position, tip yourself to the left and allow your left hand to securely land on the floor, directly under the shoulder.
Extend your right leg to hip height, ensuring that the leg is parallel to the floor. Sweep the leg forward and back 10 times, up and down 10 times, and circle 10 times in each direction. This is one cycle.
Repeat for three cycles. Switch legs, and repeat for three cycles on the other side.
