Slide Leg Raise

Purpose: Helps strengthen muscles of the hips and thighs


1. Find a firm and steady table or chair that will not move. Hold onto the steady surface (such as a chair or table) firmly for balance, with your feet positioned shoulder-width apart.
2. Slowly lift your leg out to your side. Try moving it about 6-10 inches from where your leg is at rest. Try keeping your back and legs straight, and your toes facing forward.
3. Hold position for 1-2 seconds.
4. Slowly lower your leg. Pause for 5-10 seconds to rest.
5. Repeat movement with your other leg.
6. Alternate exercising your legs until you have done 10 repetitions with each leg.
7. After a short rest period, do another set of 10 repetitions of this exercise.
