Active Lifestyle
Consult your physician before starting any diet and/or exercise plan.
Muscles Worked
Thighs (outer) or Tensor Fasciae Latae,

Position and Movement
Standing upright with your hands in a neutral position, simply raise one leg out to the side to about a 45-degree angle and hold for a two count. Do this movement in a slow and controlled fashion to work the muscles effectively. Hold onto a stable object if necessary to maintain your balance.
