Hi everybody, I'm Grace Lazenby, and welcome to outer thigh. All right, so come all the way down onto your left side. You're going to stack your hips in a ninety degree angle. From here, you're going to extend the top leg straight out so the heel, the knee, and the hip are in alignment. Let your head and neck just relax in your upper body. From here, you're going to lift the leg straight up to about hip height and lower, good. Exhale, lift up, and lower. Now remember, keep your lower abs in, and keep those gluteals tucked in nice and tight, good, and lift and lower. So, this is working right into your outer thigh, the gluteus medius, good.
