Roundhouse Kick Holds - Leg Exercise

1. From a freestanding fighting stance (or with the balance assistance of a chair or other object), chamber your leg and perform a lead leg roundhouse kick in slow motion until the leg is fully extended.

2. Hold the fully extended position for a count of 1 to 10 seconds.

3. Retract the kick back to the starting position, then repeat.

4. Perform an entire set with the lead leg on one side, and then switch stances and perform the same number of reps with the lead leg on the other side.

To increase difficulty: Hold the extended position as high as you possibly can, and/or for as long as you can for each repetition. You can also add ankle weights. Using no balance assistance object will be more difficult and will force you to focus on balance, but it will inhibit your ability to focus on elevating the kick for strength and flexibility development.

To decrease difficulty: Just pause briefly at the extended position before retracting the kick instead of holding the position for time. Using a chair or other object for balance support will allow you to focus on elevating the kick for strength and flexibility development.
