How to do it

Plant the standing foot firmly and grip the floor with your toes.

  1. 1

    Stand perpendicular to a wall or support, holding it with one hand for balance.

  2. 2

    Swing the leg closest to the support across your body and then out to the side.

  3. 3

    Keep your movements controlled and your torso as still as possible.

  4. 4

    Perform the desired number of swings before switching to the other leg.

Expert tip

Keep your upper body stable and avoid leaning too far to the side as you swing your leg to maintain proper form.
