Lateral Leg Swings
Lateral Leg Swings are dynamic movements that specifically mobilize the hip and leg muscles. They improve hip flexibility and mobility and are often used as a warm-up exercise. While standing, you swing one leg side to side, maintaining balance.
Similar to Cossack Squats, they primarily target the adductors. Frontal Leg Swings, on the other hand, focus more on the hamstrings.
