How to do the Lateral Leg Swings

1. Stand tall with hands on your hips and shift weight onto one leg.
2. Lift the opposite leg slightly off the floor and swing it out to the side, then across your body.
3. Continue the smooth swings, then switch legs halfway through.

Tips

• Keep a slight bend in the standing knee to stay stable.
• Let the movement come from the hip while your torso stays steady.
• Start with smaller swings and build range as you warm up.

Adjustments

• Hold onto a wall or chair for extra balance support.
