Butt Kicks
Stand tall with a slight forward lean and begin jogging in place or moving lightly forward. Rapidly kick your heels up toward your glutes, alternating legs in a quick, springy rhythm. Keep your torso upright and pump your arms as if running, staying on the balls of your feet. Focus on a fast turnover that primes the hamstrings and warms up your legs for activity. Use it as a dynamic warm-up to raise heart rate and loosen the posterior chain.
