donkey kick

Backward leg thrust

A donkey kick is an exercise where you get on all fours and thrust one leg backward and upward, mimicking the kicking motion of a donkey.

It targets the glutes and hamstrings: I added donkey kicks to my routine.

In combat sports, a donkey kick is a backward kick delivered while facing away from the opponent.
