Can you touch the ceiling with your foot?

With dynamic and controlled leg swings, this will gently take you to the limit of your range of motion.

• Do not use jerky movements
• Gradually raise the height and speed of each swing

1

• Start in orthodox or paw stance
• Position legs shoulder width apart
• One leg forward, one leg back

2

• Swing rear leg in front of you
• Aim initially for waist height
• Repeat 10 – 15 times
• Gradually increase height with each swing

3

• Repeat on the opposite leg
• Maintain your boxing guard throughout

And here it is in action!
