Pendulum Leg Swing
Exercise Overview
This is a dynamic warm up exercise for the hip and thigh muscles. You may hold onto a stable object with your hands for added balance. Raise one leg off of the ground in front of you and swing it side to side. Slowly progress to increasing the range of motion as the muscles adapt to the change in length.
