Side Can Can

Stand tall with your feet together, keeping your hands on your outer thighs.

AIM TO APPLY RESISTANCE WITH YOUR HANDS
Smoothly take each leg out to your side in an alternate leg motion, whilst applying resistance on your leg with your hands.

You can either work at a controlled speed, one leg raise each second, or aim to work in a slow motion, focusing on raising the leg in a slow motion, holding in the outer phase for 1 - 2 seconds.

Throughout the movement, aim to keep your legs and back straight, avoiding any swinging momentum with your legs.

Stretch and Warm Up before you commence any exercise and aim to finish with some good stretching to let your body and mind recover.
