Instructions

Setup

  • Sit on a mat with your legs extended out as wide as possible into a straddle position.

  • Keep your spine tall and maintain an upright torso throughout the movement.

  • Place your hands on the floor in front of you for stability.

Execution

  • Engage your core and hip flexors to lift one leg off the ground, keeping the leg straight.

  • Pause briefly at the top of the lift, ensuring you do not lean excessively to the opposite side to compensate.

  • Lower the leg back down with control to the starting position.

  • Alternate legs, lifting the other side to complete the rep.

  • Continue switching sides for the desired number of repetitions.
