Strengthen Your Hips - Legs Out to the Side

Strengthen Your Hips - Legs Out to the Side

(c) Anne Asher 2007
Bring your legs at a perpendicular angle to your trunk, while you remaing upright in the water. Now spread your legs so that you form a "V". Then bring your legs back together. Repeat 15 times. This exercise will strengthen your hips and your abs, as well. By being in a "sitting" position when you perform this exercise, you will be using your abdominals to support your trunk in an upright position.
