Exercise: Street Sweepers
SqueezeItIn.com GirlsStanding at the bus stop has never been so slimming. Sweep your way to slimmer thighs with our Street Sweepers.
Stand with legs hip-width apart. You must engage your core during this exercise to maintain your balance. Raise one leg a few inches off the ground.
Using your inner thigh muscles (not the momentum of your extended foot) sweep the raised leg in a fluid and controlled motion in front and across the standing leg. (See photo.) Sweep leg back to starting position, but do not allow foot to touch the ground.
Repeat for 2 sets of 12 on each side.
Variation: While sweeping leg is crossed in front of standing leg hold for a 3-count of “Squeeze-It-In “ before returning to starting position.
CAUTION: Do not lock knee of standing leg at any point during this exercise.
