Technique

How to perform Front Leg Swings

1. Stand beside a stable ordinary support and hold it lightly with one hand.
2. Balance on one leg and keep the other knee straight as you swing that leg forward.
3. Reverse the motion and swing the same leg backward without leaning or arching your torso to increase the range.
4. Keep the motion controlled and use the hip rather than turning it into a forceful kick.
5. Finish the forward/backward sequence, then switch legs.
