Overview
The alternating sidekick is an exercise that targets the quadriceps, the large muscles on the front of your thighs. To do this exercise, stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your knees slightly bent. Hold a dumbbell in each hand at your sides. Step forward with your right leg and kick your left leg up to the side as high as you can. Bring your left leg back down and step forward with your left leg. Kick your right leg up to the side as high as you can. Continue alternating legs, doing as many repetitions as you can. This exercise is a great way to strengthen your quadriceps and improve your balance.
