Açıklama
Bent Leg Side Kick is an effective core exercise that targets the side abdominal muscles and obliques. This lying movement develops lumbar stabilization and strengthens the side trunk muscles. The kicking motion performed with the knee bent also works the hip flexors. Helps improve balance and coordination. Frequently used in Pilates and functional training. Suitable for people with lower back problems due to its low impact nature.

Önemli Noktalar
- ✓Lie in a side position, lower arm supporting your head, upper arm on your waist or chest
- ✓Start with upper leg bent at 90 degrees, lower leg straight or slightly bent
- ✓Lift the upper leg in a controlled manner, ankle in neutral position
- ✓Keep the pelvis stable during the movement, do not lean backward or forward
- ✓Keep abdominal muscles continuously tight, ensure torso does not rotate
Yaygın Hatalar
- ✗Rocking the pelvis forward and backward - deactivates side core muscles
- ✗Swinging the leg too fast - moving with momentum reduces muscle work
- ✗Leaving the ankle loose instead of flexing or extending - reduces efficiency
- ✗Leaning the torso forward - prevents full engagement of oblique muscles
- ✗Holding breath - disrupts core stability
Nefes Kontrolü
Exhale while pushing the leg up, inhale while lowering. Continue regular breathing throughout the movement.
