How do you do a leg lift?

To do a let lift, stand straight with your feet 1-foot apart, and wrap a resistance band around your ankles. Hold on to a chair, and lift your left leg to the side until you feel tension in the outer thigh. Do 15 repetitions, and then repeat on the other side.

1. Wrap a resistance band around your ankles

   Stand with your feet 12 inches apart, and fasten the resistance band around your ankles so that there is some resistance.

2. Hold onto a chair or wall

   Keep your body straight, and your abdominal muscles tights. Hold onto a chair or the wall with your right hand for balance.

3. Shift your weight over your right leg

   Place your weight over your right leg while keeping your torso straight.

4. Lift your left leg

   Lift your left leg to the side until you feel tension through your outer thigh and glutes. Keep your toes, knee and hip pointing forward. Lower the leg, and repeat the movement 15 times.

5. Repeat with the right leg

   Turn your body so that your left hand is resting on the chair or wall. Shift your weight, and lift your right leg to the side 15 times.
