7. Side Kick

This kick is the strongest, because the force comes from the glutes. Keep your foot flexed as you kick out.

Imaginary Targets: Torso, Chest

Stand with your left foot forward in fighting stance.
Turn hips to the right, and pivot right toes out slightly.
Lift your left knee toward the chest, keeping your foot flexed (not shown).
Forcefully extend the left leg out to the left side, pushing through the heel while counterbalancing by leaning your entire upper body toward the right.
Keep hands in fists near face. Retract the kick and immediately return to fighting stance.

Quick Tip: Think of kicking through target with heel.

I recommend cardio kickboxing workouts to all. I have been doing kickboxing workouts since last 2 months and have already shed around 9 kilos. This has really helped me a lot. I have started a kickboxing blog to educate and motivate people for kickboxing workouts. Please check www.kickboxingworkout.net. Thanks Andrew
