High Lateral Bent-Leg Lift

Setup

• Stand tall with feet hip-width apart and engage your core tightly.

• Extend both arms overhead, keeping elbows slightly soft, to maintain balance.

Movement

• Shift your weight to one leg, keeping it straight but not locked.

• Simultaneously lift the opposite leg out to the side while bending the knee toward your chest. Focus on driving the knee upward and outward.

• Crunch your torso slightly toward the side of the lifting leg to maximize abdominal engagement, specifically targeting the obliques.

• Slowly return to the starting position with control. Keep the upper body stable throughout the movement.

• Perform all repetitions on one side before switching to the other.
