Wall-Supported Side Leg Swing

Wall Supported Side Leg Swing

Starting Position:

1. Stand facing the wall at an arm's length away.

2. Place your right hand on the wall for support. Your arm should be extended fully, and your palm should be flat against the wall.

3. Keep your left arm relaxed at your side.

4. Position your feet shoulder-width apart for stability.

5. Shift your weight slightly onto your right leg.

Movement Instructions:

1. Raise your left leg out to the side slowly. Ensure that your toes point forward and your leg is straight.

2. Swing your left leg as high as you can while maintaining balance and control. Your leg should be lifted to about hip height or slightly higher, depending on your flexibility.

3. Hold this position for a moment at the top of the swing.

4. Slowly lower your left leg back to the starting position without letting it touch the ground if possible.

5. Repeat the leg swing for 10-15 repetitions, maintaining control throughout the movement.

6. After completing the set with the left leg, switch to the right leg and repeat the exercise.

Tips:

• Keep your core engaged throughout the exercise to help with balance.

• Avoid leaning away from the wall; maintain a straight posture.

• Use a slow and controlled motion to prevent any jerky movements that could lead to injury.

• Breathe steadily through the exercise, exhaling as you lift your leg and inhaling as you lower it.
