Lying Leg Raise to Side
Equipment
Keep your legs together and straight, then lift them all the way up to the ceiling until your butt comes off the floor.
Slowly lower your legs to one side, keeping your legs pressed together and ensuring your back and shoulders remain firmly on the floor.
Bring your legs back to the center and then lower them to the other side, maintaining the same control and form.
Repeat this motion for your desired number of repetitions, ensuring to keep your core engaged and your movements slow and controlled.
Pro Tip
Controlled Movement: Raise one leg off the ground and move it to the side in a controlled manner. The leg should be straight and lifted to about a 45-degree angle. A common mistake is to swing the leg or use momentum to lift it, which can result in injury and reduces the effectiveness of the exercise. The movement should be slow and controlled for maximum benefit. Engage Your Core: While performing the exercise, it's important to engage your core muscles. This not only helps in lifting the leg but also works your abs. A common mistake is to perform the exercise using only the strength of your leg muscles,
