Leg Sway Exercise

Leg Sway Directions:

Step 1: Begin by standing with your left foot on a step, book, brick or such. Your right foot shouldn’t be touching the object that your left foot is standing on or the ground. Instead, it should hang freely in the air (Figure 144).

Step 2: Sway the right leg backward and forward (Figures 145 and 146).

Step 3: You may repeat the motion several times, as your endurance allows.

Step 4: Switch the swaying leg.

Step 5: Now, you will step on the object with your right foot and sway with your left leg.

Step 6: You may repeat the leg sways several times, as your endurance allows.

Key Points:

* the leg will sway most freely if you allow the hip joint to hang open
* breathe naturally
* maintain the height specified and don’t try to force the motion
