Burn calories with bends and kicks

Here is how to perform these exercises.

Front and back kicks

Rest your left hand against a wall and stretch your other hand out to the side. Then gently swing your right foot forwards and backwards in one continuous motion. Do this move for about four times backwards and forwards. Thereafter, turn around and repeat the same exercise in the opposite direction using the right hand against the wall and opposite limb swinging forwards and backwards.

Side body bends

To perform side body bends, stand on the floor with your feet shoulder width apart. Whilst keeping your right hand on your right hip, bring your left arm over your head and stretch to the right as far as you can go. Hold this position for approximately 10 seconds before releasing. Thereafter you can repeat this exercise on the opposite side.

Consult your health practitioner

Always remember to consult with your health practitioner before starting any new exercise regime or making intense changes to your current one – especially if you suffer from any medical conditions and for some reason are required not to place your body or yourself under any form of stress or strain.
