Bodyweight Training

Butt Kicks exercise

Butt kicks are a dynamic cardio exercise that targets the hamstrings, calves, and glutes while increasing heart rate and improving agility. Performed by kicking your heels up toward your glutes in a running motion, this bodyweight movement is great for warming up, boosting coordination, and enhancing lower-body endurance.
