This exercise is great for working the hip joints.

1. Start on a mat on your hands and knees.

   

2. Raise your right leg out to the side keeping it bent (much like the motion of a dog peeing).

   

3. Slowly in a kick like motion move your leg straight out without locking your knee. Hold for 2 seconds and switch legs.

   

4. Recommended reps: 3-5 per leg.
