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 than45 ° HOLD the LIFT for 1-2seconds 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 LEGtowards 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
