Many leaders find it psychologically very difficult to walk their thigh into their follower's leg to get them to cross. And then, when they "get it", they find it very cool and fun.

This lead does not require the leaders to contort themselves or to slam into their follower's leg. It's worth repeating what we say in the video: you position your step so that your thigh hits her leg and she crosses because of the transfer of your weight to your right leg.

If you're finding this difficult to coordinate, grab a partner and have her get into the position of the last step before the cross with her left leg still out in front (because she's stepped back right). And then you can practice where to step with your right foot so that your thigh makes contact in exactly the right spot as you step to your right leg. Once you've done that a few times, you'll find that the entire combination will flow much more smoothly.
