Chair Sideway Leg Lift

Sideway Leg Lift with a Chair

1. Starting Position:

   • Stand next to the chair. Ensure the chair is stable and on a flat surface.

   • Place your left hand on the backrest of the chair for support.

   • Stand up straight with your feet hip-width apart, keeping your core engaged.

2. Movement:

   • Gradually lift your right leg out to the side.

   • Keep your leg straight and avoid leaning your upper body to the left.

   • Raise your leg until it is parallel to the ground or as high as you comfortably can.

   • Hold this position for a moment to engage your hip muscles.

3. Return:

   • Slowly lower your right leg back to the starting position.

   • Make sure to control the movement and avoid swinging your leg.

4. Repetitions:

   • Repeat the lift for 10 to 15 repetitions.

   • Once completed, switch sides. Use your right hand to hold the chair and lift your left leg.

5. Tips:

   • Focus on maintaining balance and posture throughout the exercise.

   • Ensure to breathe normally. Inhale while lowering your leg and exhale while lifting it.

   • If you find this exercise challenging, start with fewer repetitions and gradually increase as you gain strength.
