Instructions

1. Begin in a seated position on the floor with your legs stretched out in front of you. Place your hands slightly behind your hips with your fingers pointing forward or slightly outward to take pressure off your wrists.

2. Engage your core and press your hands firmly into the floor to lift your hips up, coming into a reverse plank position. Your body should form a straight line from your head to your heels.

3. Keeping your hips lifted, inhale and slowly raise one leg as high as you can without compromising your hip position. The leg should remain straight.

4. Hold your leg in the raised position for a few seconds, ensuring your hips do not drop.

5. Exhale and lower your leg back to the starting position, maintaining the lift through your hips and core.

6. Repeat the leg raise with the opposite leg.

7. Continue alternating leg lifts for the desired number of repetitions or time.

Remember to keep breathing steadily throughout the exercise and maintain a strong, stable core. Avoid letting your hips sag or rotate during the leg lifts. If holding the leg raise statically for an isometric hold, ensure you keep your hips level and core engaged.
