Instructions

Half-Circle Draw (Chair Supported)

  1. Setup:

    • Find a stable chair and place it on a flat surface.

    • Stand next to the chair, using it for support.

  2. Positioning:

    • Stand upright with your feet hip-width apart.

    • Place one hand on the seat of the chair for balance.

    • Shift your weight onto the leg that is furthest from the chair.

  3. Movement:

    • Slowly lift the opposite leg slightly off the ground.

    • Keeping your standing leg slightly bent, move the elevated leg in a half-circle motion in front of your body.

    • Focus on engaging your hip muscles as you draw the half-circle.

    • Swing your leg back to the starting position, maintaining control throughout the movement.

  4. Repetitions:

    • Complete 8-10 repetitions, then switch to the other leg.

  5. Tips:

    • Keep your core engaged to maintain balance.

    • Move slowly to control the motion and avoid straining your muscles.

    • Ensure that your supporting leg remains stable and does not wobble.

  6. Variations:

    • If comfortable, you can perform this exercise without holding onto the chair for support.

Remember to perform the exercise in a controlled manner, focusing on the quality of movement rather than speed.
