Instructions
1. Lie on your side, stacking your legs and resting your lower arm on the ground to support your head. Extend your upper arm on the floor above your head for stability.
2. Engage your core and obliques while keeping your legs straight.
3. Slowly raise your upper leg as high as possible without compromising form while keeping the lower leg on the ground.
4. Hold the raised position briefly, then lower your leg back down to the starting position in a controlled movement.
5. Complete the desired number of repetitions on one side before switching to the other side.
Ensure that your movements are controlled and that you are not using momentum to raise your leg. Keep the core engaged throughout the range of motion to maintain stability and focus on the obliques and abdominals. Adjust the number of sets and repetitions based on your fitness level and goals.
