Performance
Tips
- Keep the toes
and knee of the leg you are lifting facing forward. If you rotate your leg
so the toes and knee are facing the ceiling, you will work the front of the
thighs instead of the hip.
- If you are using
a wall or chair to steady your balance, hold it lightly and avoid leaning
into it.
- Avoid swinging
the leg sideways. Move slowly by contracting the muscle first.
- Keep your shoulders
facing forward throughout the exercise. Avoid rotating at the waist.
Repetitions
Do ten to twelve repetitions per leg. This equals one set. Do one to three sets.
