The way Donna taught me was, " stand in a doorway and place the edge of the left foot to the doorjam, and push for 5 seconds. Move your balance leg a couple of inches to the right, and repeat the isometric. Do until the left leg is fully extended and the balance foot is at the right side of the doorway. Repeat with the right leg. The point is to build up the hip joint. That means using the butt muscles and the upper thigh muscles. It doesn't take much to do it. Maybe 3 minutes a day, when you start out. Once in shape, then doing it once a week is enough to keep it. I normally do not do it in a doorway, but do it in he hot spa.
