How to do the Leg Swings

1. Stand with feet hip-width apart and hands on your hips or at your sides.
2. Shift weight onto one leg and lift the other slightly off the floor.
3. Swing the lifted leg forward and backward in a smooth, controlled motion, then switch legs halfway through.

Tips

• Keep a soft bend in the standing knee for balance.
• Let the movement come from the hip while your torso stays steady.
• Start with smaller swings and build range gradually.

Adjustments

• Hold onto a wall or chair if you need extra support.
