Dumbbell Standing Side Leg Kick

Stand tall beside an exercise bench or sturdy support, holding a dumbbell against the outside of your thigh with your working leg.

Lightly place one hand on the bench for balance and keep your core braced.

Exhale as you lift your working leg out to the side in a controlled motion, keeping your toe pointing forward.

Pause briefly at the top of the movement while maintaining an upright posture.

Inhale as you slowly lower your leg back to the starting position.
