Alternating Leg Lift Twist

Starting Position:

• Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart.

• Engage your core by drawing your belly button in towards your spine.

• Extend your arms straight out in front of you at shoulder height, parallel to the ground.

Movement Preparation:

• Maintain a slight bend in your knees.

• Focus on a fixed point in front of you to help with balance.

Lifting the Leg:

• Shift your weight onto your right leg.

• As you do this, lift your left knee up towards your chest.

• Ensure your left foot is flexed, and your knee is at a 90-degree angle.

Twist Motion:

• While holding your left knee up, twist your torso to the right.

• Reach your right arm forward and your left arm backward, forming a "T" shape with your arms.

Return to Starting Position:

• Slowly return your body to the starting position by lowering your left leg and bringing your arms back to parallel.

• Repeat the movement on the other side, shifting your weight to your left leg and lifting your right knee.

Repetitions:

• Perform 10-15 repetitions on each side.

Tips:

• Keep your movements smooth and controlled to maintain balance.

• Focus on engaging your core throughout the exercise to help stabilize your body.

• If you struggle with balance, practice near a wall or sturdy surface for support.

Cool Down:

• After completing your sets, take a moment to stretch your legs and arms to relax your muscles.
