Pro Tip

Controlled Movement: Avoid swinging your leg too wildly. The motion should be controlled and steady, not forced or rushed. The aim is not to swing your leg as high as possible but to engage your muscles in a controlled manner. Range of Motion: Start with a smaller range of motion and gradually increase it as your flexibility improves. Don't force your leg to go higher than is comfortable. You should feel a stretch, but not pain. Keep Your Body Still: A common mistake is to let the body sway or twist with the leg. Try to keep your body still, focusing the movement on the hip joint. This will help isolate the muscles you're trying to work and prevent potential strain on
