A Toned Core - The FJ 3 Kick Move

Ok so we have been a little quiet for the past week. But that was only because we were out making some quality routines and researching on some top notch moves that are sure to leave you looking awesome! One of the moves that we came up with was the FJ 3 Kick move. Its designed to tone and strengthen your core; your lower abs, your butt and even your quads. It’s a fairly simple result delivering move. And since we like to make it fun, lets imagine something really empowering and action packed while we do it.

So imagine you are surrounded by the evil “Flab Ninjas”. They’re in your way, stopping you from releasing your sexy toned core. Well they ain't gonna stop you are they. For you will kick the living daylights out of those Flab Ninjas, to get that core they’ve been hiding from you. Here’s how you will make us proud...

You will perform a combination of front, side and back leg raises, or the FJ Ninja Kicks as we like to call them :) . Also, use one hand to hold on to a chair or something stable, so that you can maintain your balance.

The routine
- Stand up straight and proud, with your feet close together.
- With your left foot on the floor, raise your right leg from the waist and kick to the front, raising your leg to your waist level. Hold for a second and then bring it back down with control. That’s one kick.
- Now raise your leg from the hip level to your side and bring it as high as your hip level if possible. Hold for a second and bring it back down again. That’s the second kick.
- Finally kick back behind you by raising your leg from the hip and go as high as you can while staying upright. Hold for a second and then come back to the center. That’s the third kick that will KO the Flab Ninja standing behind you.

You must perform these kicks a 100 times with roughly the equal amount of front, back and side kicks.

Once you are done, repeat the above routine with the other leg. Although I found just one set of 100 reps each, effective enough in a core workout, do this move at least 2 times for maximal results.

Tips
- Stay upright and don’t bend your upper body
- In between your kicks, when you bring your leg back down, make sure that you don’ rest your kicking foot on the ground. That will make you work a little harder
- While kicking, keep a slight bend in your knee. That will help if you aren’t very flexible
- Do not fling your legs recklessly while kicking. That won’t be effective and can cause an injury as well. Make sure you kick with super ninja like control
- If you aren’t flexible enough, then go as high up with your kicks as you can without over stretching your muscles.

There you go my ninja warrior. Kick the Flab Ninjas’ butts! Teach them a lesson and release your sexy toned core. You’re worth it

Stay Fit

U bet it will. Try doing it as a part of your existing routine. For example, do it when you do your abs
