Standing Lateral Leg Figure-Eight Lift

Setup

• Stand tall next to a chair, keeping one hand lightly on the backrest for balance.

• Keep your feet together and core engaged.

Movement

• Start by lifting your outer leg and swinging it in a controlled, rhythmic figure-eight pattern in the air.

• Ensure the movement comes from your hip, keeping the knee straight but not locked.

• Maintain an upright torso throughout; avoid leaning excessively toward the supporting side.

• Inhale and exhale steadily, keeping the core tight to stabilize the pelvis.

• Complete the desired repetitions on one side before switching to the other.
