Chair Seated Single Straight-Leg Raise

1. Starting Position:
- Sit on the edge of the chair with your back straight and shoulders relaxed.
- Keep your feet flat on the ground, hip-width apart.
- Place your hands on your hips or hold onto the sides of the chair for support.

2. Movement:
- While maintaining a straight posture, lift your right leg straight out in front of you.
- Keep your knee straight and toes pointed.
- Raise it to a height that feels comfortable without straining (ideally until your leg is parallel to the floor).
- Hold this position for a moment.

3. Return:
- Slowly lower your leg back down to the starting position, keeping control of the movement.

4. Repetitions:
- Repeat the lift for 10-15 repetitions with the right leg.

5. Switch Legs:
- Once finished with the right leg, switch to the left leg and repeat the same steps.

6. Breathing:
- Inhale as you prepare for the lift and exhale as you raise your leg.

7. Tips:
- Make sure to engage your core to help maintain balance.
- Avoid leaning back; keep the torso upright throughout the exercise.
- If needed, do this exercise with a lighter weight in your hands or without any added weight initially.

8. Finish:
- After completing both legs, take a moment to sit comfortably and breathe deeply before moving on to your next exercise.
