Be good to yourself with Tetley green tea
Kick ass - literally
continued from page 3
The front knee kick is an excellent upper leg toner. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your knees slightly bent. Your fists should be clenched in front of your face. Then, lean back slightly from the waist shifting the weight to your right foot. Bend your left knee and lift it up to hip height, flexing your foot. Now kick straight out in front of you making sure that you don't lock your knee. Keep your torso stable and don't twist your spine during this move. Use your abdominal muscles to provide the support you need to kick. Return to the starting position and repeat on the other side. Perform ten repetitions with alternate legs.
