Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Pendulum Arms Side Leg Raise.
The Pendulum Arms Side Leg Raise is a standing unilateral exercise that combines a lateral leg raise with a coordinated pendulum-like arm swing. The opposing arm movement challenges balance, hip stability, and shoulder mobility while the lateral leg raise targets the outer thigh and glutes.
The Pendulum Arms Side Leg Raise is a foundational movement that builds strength and muscle through controlled, progressive overload. Train it 1 to 2 times per week with 3 to 5 working sets per session, gradually adding weight or reps as form holds up.
