This Pilates exercise is typically done on the Reformer, but without springs to assist the movement, this standing version challenges your body even more.

How to do: Stand with feet hip-distance apart and parallel. Place a gliding disc or hand towel under right foot. Extend arms straight out from shoulders, palms forward. Slide right leg to side, opening legs apart wide. Press into left foot and use inner thighs to draw right leg back to starting position, keeping legs straight. Do 2 sets by 15 reps; repeat on opposite side.

Good Luck!
