Standing Side Leg Raise

How to do it

1. Stand side-on to a chair or rack and hold it lightly for balance.
2. Shift your weight onto the far leg.
3. Sweep the near leg across the front of your body as far as it will go.
4. Return slowly under control, then switch sides.
5. No equipment at all, so make it count with a slow return and a hard squeeze at the end.
