Illustration for the Side-lying leg sweep exercise

Side-lying leg sweep

  • Duration: 6 min
  • Level: Beginner
  • Goal track: Weight loss

Lie on your side with your legs stacked and extended, resting your head on your lower arm or a cushion, and rest your top hand on the floor in front of you for balance. This is your starting position. Keeping your hips stacked and your waist lifted slightly off the mat, breathe out as you sweep your top leg forward in a slow arc, then breathe in as you sweep it back behind you in line with your body, keeping it straight throughout. Repeat 8 to 10 sweeps, then switch to lie on the other side.
