How to do the Side Leg Raises
- 1
Stand next to a chair, which you may hold onto as a support. Stand on one leg. This will be your starting position.
- 2
Keeping your leg straight, raise it as far out to the side as possible, and swing it back down, allowing it to cross the opposite leg.
- 3
Repeat this swinging motion 5-10 times, increasing the range of motion as you do so.
Log it, see it on your body.
