I get excited about new movements just like everybody else. It’s nice to break up the norm and maybe have found a new varation that can lead to improvement.
So what is a kickstand?
Well, a kickstand is actually something used to hold up a bike, scooter or motorcycle. We use it in the same way. We use one leg to drive to stand up, and the other one is to keep us from falling over.
This movement would look like if a Split squat and a single leg squat had a baby. It’s an evident mix of the two, which is why I was very excited about learning more about it and using it to benefit clients.
We like all things here at CP tested it and researched it before just shelling it out. After four weeks of using it on my own I loved it, and it’s been added to my tool belt.
I can’t remember the last time I felt my butt working as much as it did in the kickstand. I was able to move the right amount of weight in a high position and felt safe doing it.
HERE”S HOW YOU GET STARTED
