The Amazing Stickie knows that synovial joints, like the ones in our hips, get their nutrition via motion. She also knows that a stable pelvis is beneficial for all the things she likes to do in her copious spare time. These are two reasons why she likes to do leg circles.
She starts lying on her back with one leg long and one leg extended up toward the ceiling. (How high the leg is raised depends on the flexibility of one’s hamstrings!). Then, keeping both sides of her pelvis evenly weighted on the ground, she circles the lifted leg across the midline of her body and around to the starting position. She likes to do five circles in each direction before changing legs and doing the other side.
Stickie finds it surprisingly difficult to avoid shifting her pelvis from side to side as she makes the circles.
