Instructions

Standing Alternate Leg Lift with Lat Pulldown

Positioning

1. Stand Tall: Begin by standing with your feet hip-width apart. Keep your back straight and engage your core.
2. Arms Position: Raise both arms straight above your head, parallel to each other and shoulder-width apart.

Movement

1. Lift One Leg: Slowly lift your right leg up, bending at the knee so that your thigh is parallel to the ground. Your foot should be flexed, and the knee should not go beyond your toes.
2. Lower the Leg: Return your right leg back to the starting position and repeat the lift with your left leg.
3. Continue Alternating: Alternate lifting each leg for a total of 10–15 repetitions on each side. Maintain a steady rhythm, focusing on balance and control.
4. Breathing: Inhale while lifting your leg and exhale as you lower it back down.

Tips

- Keep your core engaged throughout the movement to maintain stability.
- Focus on one spot in front of you to help with balance.
- If you're having trouble balancing, you can lightly hold on to a wall or chair for support.
