STEP 1         Start with feet together . LIFT LEFT LEG leading w/ outstep of foot and outer thigh. KEEP TOES FORWARD throughout the movement. This will contract the outer thigh muscle which will lift NO HIGHER than 45 °  HOLD the LIFT for 1-2 seconds     KEEP RIGHT LEG's knee slightly bent "soft".               Arms can open w/ the movement.

COMMON MISTAKE : toes turned out - works quads and causes rotation at pelvis leg goes higher than 45°  MOMENTUM occurs DECREASES workload NOT EFFICIENT CONTRACTION!!! 

STEP 2         After HOLD of 1-2 secs, bring leg down slowly and controlled. Contact the floor as FAR OUT as your reach w/ that leg . 

 STEP 3       Bring RIGHT LEG  towards the left leg moving your body left across the floor from the start position . SQUEEZE INNER THIGHS and BUTTOCKS (BONUS : Xtra Muscle Groups Contracting using more calories!) NEVER LOCK KNEES . Continue movement according to your fitness level -SEE BELOW
