Instructions

Half-Circle Draw (Chair Supported)

1. Setup:
- Find a stable chair and place it on a flat surface.
- Stand next to the chair, using it for support.

2. Positioning:
- Stand upright with your feet hip-width apart.
- Place one hand on the seat of the chair for balance.
- Shift your weight onto the leg that is furthest from the chair.

3. Movement:
- Slowly lift the opposite leg slightly off the ground.
- Keeping your standing leg slightly bent, move the elevated leg in a half-circle motion in front of your body.
- Focus on engaging your hip muscles as you draw the half-circle.
- Swing your leg back to the starting position, maintaining control throughout the movement.

4. Repetitions:
- Complete 8-10 repetitions, then switch to the other leg.

5. Tips:
- Keep your core engaged to maintain balance.
- Move slowly to control the motion and avoid straining your muscles.
- Ensure that your supporting leg remains stable and does not wobble.

6. Variations:
- If comfortable, you can perform this exercise without holding onto the chair for support.

Remember to perform the exercise in a controlled manner, focusing on the quality of movement rather than speed.
