Sideway Leg Lift with a Chair

1. Starting Position:
- Stand next to the chair. Ensure the chair is stable and on a flat surface.
- Place your left hand on the backrest of the chair for support.
- Stand up straight with your feet hip-width apart, keeping your core engaged.

2. Movement:
- Gradually lift your right leg out to the side.
- Keep your leg straight and avoid leaning your upper body to the left.
- Raise your leg until it is parallel to the ground or as high as you comfortably can.
- Hold this position for a moment to engage your hip muscles.

3. Return:
- Slowly lower your right leg back to the starting position.
- Make sure to control the movement and avoid swinging your leg.

4. Repetitions:
- Repeat the lift for 10 to 15 repetitions.
- Once completed, switch sides. Use your right hand to hold the chair and lift your left leg.

5. Tips:
- Focus on maintaining balance and posture throughout the exercise.
- Ensure to breathe normally. Inhale while lowering your leg and exhale while lifting it.
- If you find this exercise challenging, start with fewer repetitions and gradually increase as you gain strength.
