Side Leg Circles Left

Muscles worked: Legs · Also: Back & Core

Side Leg Circles Left draw slow circles with the left leg from a side-lying or standing position, working the outer hip and thigh through a full range.

Keep the circles smooth and the same size in both directions, and keep your torso still while the leg moves. If your body starts rocking, make the circles smaller until you can control them.

How to do it

1. Start with your body stacked and your left leg free to move, side-lying or standing as the version calls for.
2. Draw slow circles with your left leg, keeping the circles smooth and the same size in both directions.
3. Keep your torso still while the leg moves.
4. Reverse direction halfway through.
5. If your body starts rocking, make the circles smaller until you can control them.
