Lateral Leg Swing

1. Stand upright next to a stable object or support structure (e.g., a wall, squat rack, or chair) that you can hold onto for balance.

2. Place one hand on the support for stability and stand with your feet together.

3. Shift your weight onto your inside leg, which is closest to the support.

4. Begin by swinging your outside leg forward and backward in a comfortable range of motion, gradually increasing the range to what is comfortable.

5. After a set of forward and backward swings, change direction to swing the same leg side to side across the front of your body, going as far out to the side and across as comfortably possible.

6. Keep your torso upright and core engaged throughout the exercise.

7. Perform the required number of swings (e.g., 10-20 swings) before switching legs and repeating the process.

Remember to perform the exercise in a controlled manner and to only swing your leg as high or wide as is comfortable to avoid injury. This exercise is typically used as part of a warm-up to prepare the muscles and joints for more intense activity.
