A standing butt kick is an effective exercise for increasing heart rate and toning the lower body. It involves kicking the heels back towards the glutes, which helps improve balance, coordination, and flexibility while engaging the quadriceps and hamstrings.

How to do it

  1. Stand with feet hip-width apart, arms at your sides.
  2. Shift weight to one foot and bend the opposite knee to kick your heel towards your glutes.
  3. Lower your leg back to the starting position and switch sides.
  4. Repeat alternately at a steady pace for desired reps.
