1. Forward and Backward Leg Swings
Stand with feet hip-width apart and place your right hand on a wall for balance. Keeping your left foot anchored to the floor and a soft bend in the left knee, engage your core as you propel your right leg forward and backward in a slow, gentle swinging motion. Ensure the swinging leg remains extended (straight), the core engaged, and the hips facing forward. Repeat with the opposite leg.
2. Side-to-Side Leg Swings
Stand with feet hip-width apart and place both hands on a wall for balance. (You’ll want to be standing a bit further than arm’s length away from the wall so you have some space to move the swinging leg in front of you.) Keeping your right foot anchored to the floor and a soft bend in the right knee, engage your core and swing your left leg gently out to your left side. Then swing your left leg across and in front of your right leg before reversing the motion to swing the leg back out to your left. Keep your swinging leg straight and the hips facing forward. Repeat with the opposite leg.
