One move

Standing Hip Adduction

Strength Balance Lower body

How to read ahead. Do to go one move at a time.

Stand tall and slowly draw one leg across the midline, squeezing the inner thigh. Simple, balance-friendly, and effective.

Option. Hold a chair or wall for light support. Progress by adding a light resistance band around the ankles.
