LEG SWEEP, STRETCH AND SQUAT

GREAT FOR: THIGHS, BOTTOM, BACK Technique ■ Standing straight, lift your right leg up behind you pointing your toe, then sweep it across and behind your body, placing your toe on the floor like an extended curtsey while squeezing your butt. ■ Bend both knees, lining your back knee up with the back of your front heel and hinging your upper body down over your thigh. ■ Stand up, squeeze your inner thighs for a beat and reach your leg back to the starting position. Repeat on the other side. ■ Do 5-10 reps each side.
