How to Do Double Leg Butt Kick

Step-by-step instructions, muscles worked and workouts that use the double leg butt kick.

How to do it

1. Begin standing with your knees slightly bent.
2. Quickly squat a short distance, flexing the hips and knees, and immediately extend to jump for maximum vertical height.
3. As you go up, tuck your heels by flexing the knees, attempting to touch the buttocks.
4. Finish the motion by landing with the knees only partially bent, using your legs to absorb the impact.

Form tips

• Start light and own the movement before adding weight.
• Control the lowering phase — don't drop into it.
• Keep breathing; exhale on the hardest part.
• Stop if you feel sharp pain (different from muscle burn).
