Is this for yourself or for a patient?
- HOW: Begin on one leg with a resistance band wrapped around your opposite ankle. You can use a firm surface to maintain balance. Elevate your leg with the resistance band and kick that leg out and back.
- FEEL: You should feel your butt muscles working to kick your leg and your core muscles. The weight bearing leg will also be working to keep yourself stable.
- COMPENSATION: Do not arch your low back as you kick back.
