Engage your core and lift your right leg, keeping the knee bent, until your thigh is parallel with the floor and the sole of your foot is facing the ceiling.
Squeeze your glutes at the top of the movement, then slowly lower your knee back to the starting position without touching the floor.
Repeat this movement for the desired amount of repetitions, then switch and perform the same movement with your left leg.
Remember to keep your back straight and your movements controlled throughout the exercise.
Pro Tip
Engage Your Core: Engaging your core is crucial for this exercise. It provides stability, helps maintain your balance, and supports your lower back. Many people forget to engage their core during the exercise, which can lead to ineffective results and potential injuries. Control Your Movements: Avoid the temptation to use momentum or to swing your leg. Instead, focus on controlled, slow movements. This will ensure you are actually using your glutes to lift your leg, rather than relying on momentum, which can lead to better results and prevent injuries. Keep Your Hips Stable: A common mistake is to rotate the hips during the exercise. Try to keep your hips facing the ground throughout the exercise
