Directions:

1) Stand with your feet together and hold a sturdy chair with your hand, for balance.

2) Hold your body and back straight and tighten your abdominal muscles.

3) With your right leg flexed, move your right leg in front of your left. Squeeze your inner thigh as you move your leg, using a slow and controlled movement. (Leg swinging won't give you any workout!)

4) Return your leg to the starting position and repeat, doing 8-12 lifts. Then rest and repeat.

5) Turn around or move the chair to the other side of your body and repeat the exercise with your left leg.
