Shift your weight onto your left foot, keeping your core engaged and your back straight.
Slowly lift your right leg out to the side, keeping your toes pointed forward and not letting your body tilt to the side.
Hold this position for a few seconds, ensuring your hip, thigh and knee are aligned and parallel to the floor.
Gradually lower your right foot back to the starting position and repeat the process with your left leg.
Pro Tip
Control Your Movements: Avoid swinging your leg or using momentum to lift it. Instead, focus on using your hip muscles to perform the movement. This will help to ensure that you are targeting the right muscles and not putting unnecessary strain on your joints. Keep Your Foot Pointed Forward: Another common mistake is turning the foot outward during the lift. Try to keep your foot pointed forward. This will help to engage the correct muscles and avoid strain on the hip joint. Use a Support: Particularly for beginners, using a wall or chair for support can be very useful. It helps maintain balance and allows you to focus solely on the movement of your hip. Don
