The Return of the Amazing Stickie: squat to leg lift






The Amazing Stickie has a very busy life, so she loves exercises that meet multiple goals at once.  Squat to leg lift is one of those exercises, working lower body strength, lateral movement, balance, and cardio.

 

She begins with her hands on her hips (or, if she is feeling extra strong, she can hold a dumbbell in front of her breastbone), feet about shoulder width apart.  She does a little squat and on the way up transfers her weight to her left leg, lifting the right leg straight out to the side.  When she lowers her right leg, she returns to a squat position.  Then she rises up, transferring the weight to her right leg and lifting the left leg straight out to the side.

 

Sets of 30 will get Stickie and everyone else warmed up!
