Chair Standing Lateral Leg Circles

Standing Lateral Leg Circle with a Chair

Starting Position:
1. Stand next to the chair, keeping it on your side for support.
2. Position your feet shoulder-width apart and maintain a slight bend in your knees.
3. Place your hand on the back of the chair for balance.

Movement Instructions:
1. Shift your weight to the leg that is closest to the chair.
2. Lift your outer leg (the one farthest from the chair) slightly off the ground.
3. Begin to make small circles with your lifted leg. Make sure to keep your core engaged and maintain a straight posture.
4. Start with circles in one direction for about 10-15 repetitions, focusing on controlled movement.
5. Change the direction of the circles and repeat for another 10-15 repetitions.
6. Lower your leg back to the starting position and switch sides, repeating the exercise with your other leg.

Tips for Beginners:
- Keep your movements slow and controlled to maintain balance.
- If you feel unstable, feel free to hold onto the chair more firmly.
- Ensure that your supporting knee remains slightly bent to help with stability.
