Instructions

Wall Supported Front Leg Swing

  1. Starting Position:

    • Stand facing a wall with your feet hip-width apart.

    • Place one hand against the wall at about shoulder height for balance.

    • Keep your other arm relaxed by your side.

  2. Leg Positioning:

    • Shift your weight onto the leg that is closest to the wall (the standing leg).

    • Lift your opposite leg (the swinging leg) slightly off the ground.

  3. Movement:

    • Slowly swing your lifted leg forward in front of your body while keeping it straight.

    • Aim to swing your leg to about waist height, if comfortable.

  4. Return:

    • Allow your leg to swing back to the starting position, returning to the original position behind your standing leg.

  5. Repetitions:

    • Perform 10-15 swings with one leg, then switch to the other leg and repeat.

  6. Tips:

    • Keep your core engaged for better balance.

    • Maintain a steady and controlled movement throughout the exercise.

    • Ensure that your movement is fluid and avoid any jerky motions.

  7. Cool Down:

    • After completing the sets, take a moment to stretch your legs to prevent muscle stiffness.
