2. Plié with Attitude
Stand holding the chair back with your right hand, legs farther
than hip-distance apart, feet turned out and abs pulled in. Bend your knees while lowering your hips into a plié. Squeeze your glutes (butt) to help steady your pelvis [2A]. Straighten your legs and lift your left leg to hip height and turned out in an “attitude” position [2B]. Return to plié position. Do 5 to 10 reps, then switch sides and repeat.
