Instructions

1. Starting Position:
- Stand upright with your feet hip-width apart.
- Engage your core by pulling your belly button towards your spine.
- Place your hands on your hips for balance.

2. Lifting the Leg:
- Shift your weight onto your right foot.
- Slowly lift your left leg out to the side. Keep your leg straight.
- Raise it to around hip level.

3. Performing the Pulse:
- Once your left leg is lifted, perform a small pulsing movement by lowering and lifting the leg slightly without bringing it back to the ground.
- Do about 10-15 pulses at this height.

4. Returning to Start:
- After completing the pulses, slowly lower your left leg back to the starting position while maintaining your balance.

5. Repeating:
- Switch and repeat the same steps on the right leg.
- Aim for 2-3 sets of 10-15 pulses on each leg.

Tips:
- Focus on a fixed point in front of you to help maintain your balance.
- Make sure not to arch your back; keep your torso upright throughout the exercise.
- If needed, you can hold onto a wall or chair for extra support while getting accustomed to the movement.
