Come up onto the balls of your feet and keep your legs controlled, when you lower and lift your butt about four inches. Keep your body steady, when you lift and lower the weight.

2. Plie: Stand straight with shoulder width apart and toes pointing out. Place your arms straight in front of you and lower into a squat. Go as low as possible into the squat until passed your toes but don’t let your knees move. Now, tuck your tailbone under and contract your glutes. Come back to the starting position and relax.

3. Outer and inner thighs kick stretch: Stand with holding the back of a chair and press your shoulder with blades back and down. Come up onto the ball of your left foot and lift your right leg. Now, bring your left leg across your body or in front of your left leg. Swing it back to the right and keep your toes flexed and turned out. Use momentum to swing through your leg. Get back to the starting position and perform on the other side or leg.
