How to perform Sde-to-Side Leg Swings

1. Stand facing a stable ordinary support and hold it without placing the swinging leg in its path.
2. Balance on one leg and keep the working knee nearly straight.
3. Swing the working leg outward to the side.
4. Let it return through the middle and cross in front of the supporting leg.
5. Keep your torso facing the support and use controlled momentum rather than forcing the endpoint.
6. Complete the swings, then change legs.
