Leg Lift Front and Back

Hold on sideways with your right hip near the wall and your right arm resting on the deck. Raise your fully extended left leg to the front as high as comfortable. Lower your leg to the starting position and raise it behind your back. Lower your leg and repeat the leg lefts front and back 30-45 seconds. Turn around and place your left hip against the wall to exercise your right leg. Caution: Do not move your upper body - allow the leg and hip to do the work creating a slow and flowing motion.

Variations:

Flex and extend your toes at the end of each leg lift.
Turn your toes in and out at the end of each leg lift.
Draw circles, letters or numbers with your feet at the end of each leg lift.
