Leg Swings


Step 1 - Stand beside the wall, place one hand on the wall for balance

Step 2 - Swing the leg furthest from the wall forward and backwards like a pendulum

Step 3 - Complete 10 swings, then swing the same leg side to side

Step 4 - Turn around and repeat with the other leg

Recommended Sets & Time:

  • Beginner: 2 sets of 10 swings each direction per leg, 15 seconds rest

  • Intermediate: 2-3 sets of 12 swings each direction per leg, 10 seconds rest

  • Advanced: 3 sets of 15 swings each direction per leg, 10 seconds rest

What to Focus On:

  • Hip joint mobility - You should feel your hip joint loosening with each swing

  • Controlled momentum - Use a gentle swinging motion, don't force or kick aggressively

  • Balance maintenance - Keep your supporting leg stable and core engaged

  • Progressive range - Start with smaller swings and gradually increase the range

Modifications:

  • Easier: Make smaller swings or hold onto the wall with both hands for more support

  • Harder: Make larger swings or try to maintain balance without holding the wall
