Leg Swings

Looking to improve restriction in your hips and lower back? Static stretching doesn’t cut it, you need to move it. Try swinging your legs forward and back in a straight line. Slow and steady trying to get it as mobile as possible.

Best way to do this stretch:

• Brace your hand on a wall/desk
• Swing leg closest to wall/desk as far forward and as far backward as you can
• Keep your upper body stable (only swinging legs)
• Try to keep your toes pointed forward
• Speed is nice and slow
• Size of the movement is as far as you can take it
• 10 – 20 swings each leg

They also work brilliantly side on. Apply same guidelines as above to get the best stretch possible.
