Standing Leg Swings

< Back to Storm-Ups

Standing leg swings are a great warm-up exercise to loosen up the hip flexors, hamstrings, and glutes.

1. Start Standing: Stand with your feet together, keeping your posture straight and engaging your core for balance.
2. Swing Leg Forward and Backward: Lift one leg and swing it forward to about hip height, then swing it back as far as comfortable. Keep your movements controlled and your body stable.
3. Increase Range Gradually: As you get more comfortable, increase the range of the swing, ensuring smooth, controlled motions.
4. Switch Legs: After 10-15 swings, switch to the other leg and repeat the swings.
