Instructions

Start by lying on one side, propping up your upper body with your lower arm placed firmly on the ground. Your legs should be straight, with your feet stacked on top of each other.

Place your top hand on the floor in front of you for additional support. Engage your core and glutes to stabilize your body.

Lift your hips off the floor so that your body forms a straight line from head to heels. This is your starting position.

While keeping your body stable and straight, raise the upper leg upward without bending at the knee. Ensure that your hips remain stacked and your body stays in a single plane.

Pause at the top of the movement, then slowly lower the leg back down to the starting position.

Perform the desired number of repetitions on one side before switching to the other side.

To increase difficulty, you can raise and lower your hips between reps while still performing the leg lift.

Maintain control and steady breathing throughout the exercise. Keep your movements smooth to maximize tension on the targeted muscle groups.
