How to do it
- Sit upright in a chair and grip the seat on the sides.
- Raise one leg, extending the knee, flexing the ankle as you do so.
- Slowly move that leg outward as far as you can, and then back to the center and down.
- Repeat for your other leg.
Form tips
- Start light and own the movement before adding weight.
- Control the lowering phase — don't drop into it.
- Keep breathing; exhale on the hardest part.
- Stop if you feel sharp pain (different from muscle burn).
