Step by step

How to do the Double Leg Butt Kick

  1. 1

    Begin standing with your knees slightly bent.

  2. 2

    Quickly squat a short distance, flexing the hips and knees, and immediately extend to jump for maximum vertical height.

  3. 3

    As you go up, tuck your heels by flexing the knees, attempting to touch the buttocks.

  4. 4

    Finish the motion by landing with the knees only partially bent, using your legs to absorb the impact.
