How to Do
How to Do Single Leg Circles
The single leg circles should begin with a good posture to avoid injury. Brace the spine by drawing your lower abdomen inward. Your core muscles should be activated to support your posture as you perform the exercise.
If any pain is experienced, immediately stop the single leg circles.

Double Leg Circles are an excellent workout for developing your thigh, calf, and key core muscle groups such as your hip flexors and lower abdominal muscles. Walking, sitting up, bending down, and climbing stairs are all actions that require a strong core and lower half.
