Things You'll Need:
- Sturdy chair with a high back
-
Step 1
Stand approximately 1 foot behind a sturdy chair whose back is high enough for you to reach without stooping down or bending at the waist.

Step 2
Hold on to the back of the chair with both hands. Stand with your feet a little less than shoulder width apart with your toes pointed forward.
-
Step 3
Keep your legs almost completely straight with only a slight bend at the knee.
-
Step 4
Place the bulk of your weight on your right leg and bring your left leg straight out to the side at a 45-degree angle. Pause for a count of 3 at the height of the leg lift. Lower your leg back down toward your right leg.

Step 5
Repeat for 8 to 12 repetitions before completing the same movements with your right leg.
-
Step 6
Perform 2 to 3 sets of lifts per leg pausing for a couple of minutes between sets.
