Side Leg Raise
How
to Do Side Leg Raises
1.
Stand straight with your feet together, toes forward. Place one hand on
the back of a chair to help you balance while you do this movement.
2.
Keeping your right leg on the floor, raise your left leg out to the side.
Keep the rest of your body, hips and shoulders, faced forward. Stretch
your leg out as far as possible and raise it as high as you can manage.
3.
Hold this position for a count of 5 and then lower your leg back to the
starting positon.
Side
Leg Raises Tip
Avoid
the temptation to turn your hip and shoulder out to the side while doing

best results.
