Plie Slides

Plie slides improve leg strength with a slight emphasis on the inner thigh muscles. The movement also improves flexibility and mobility of the hips.

Instructions

  1. 711_A
    Begin by standing tall with your heels pressed together, turning your toes out to 45-degrees. Keep your hands on your hips for support.
  2. Plie Slides
    Slide one foot out beyond hip-width, keeping your other in the same position, and descend into a squat position. Return back to starting position.

Trainer’s Tips

  • Do not let your knees cave inward as you squat.
  • Do not let your heels lose contact with the floor during the squat.
  • Don't bend your knees to start the squat. Instead, push your hips back to initiate the movement.
