 LEG LIFTS

Starting in a tabletop position you will slowly extend your right leg out first. Make sure your toe is pointed and your hips are square to the floor. Using your glute muscles, slowly elevate your leg to the sky and slowly lower. Keep your foot one inch off the ground to keep that tension in your glutes as you continue to lift and lower. Complete 3 sets of 30 reps and don't forget to alternate legs.

TABLE TOP LIFT

Start in a tabletop position with your right knee bent touching the ground. As you exhale, use your upper body and glute muscles to lift that bent leg to the sky keeping your knee at a 90-degree angle. Slowly lower to the ground and repeat. Complete 3 sets of 30 reps and don't forget to alternate legs. 


LEG CIRCLES

Start in a tabletop position and then slowly open up so that your body is stacked. Bend the left knee while the right leg is straight with a pointed toe. Raise your right leg so that is it parallel to the floor and slowly start making small circles with your lifted leg. Begin by doing 15 circles to the front and 15 circles to the back. Complete 3 sets of 30 reps and don't forget to alternate legs.
