(The below is if the target leg was the LEFT leg)
Donkey Kick Setup:
- Kneeling on the carriage facing the back of the Xformer, turn the handlebar to your left up and outwards left
- Keeping your right knee on the carriage, place your left heel on the curvature of the black handle bar aligning the rest of your foot with the handlebar outwards
- Grab the carriage handlebars in line with your shoulders
Donkey Kick Execution:
- Exhale through your lips as you press your left heel against the handlebar to push the carriage forward 95% so that you do not lock out your knee and lose tension
- Breathe in through your nose as you bend your left knee until it aligns with your left hip to bring the carriage back
Important Notes:
- Do not tuck your chin into your chest. Look down or down and slightly forward
- Keep your hips and shoulders squared never learning into one side.
- Do not push the carriage out with your arms
- Do not dig your planted knee down and forward on the carriage
