Lying Single Leg Raise

Equipment

1

Keeping your left leg straight, slowly lift it up towards the ceiling until it's perpendicular to your body.

2

Hold this position for a few seconds, making sure to engage your abdominal muscles.

3

Slowly lower your leg back down to the starting position, keeping it as straight as possible.

4

Repeat the exercise with your right leg, and continue to alternate between legs for the desired number of repetitions.

Pro Tip

Controlled Movement: Lift one leg at a time, keeping it straight, and raise it to a 90-degree angle if possible. The movement should be slow and controlled, not fast and jerky. Rapid movements can lead to muscle strain and won't engage your core as effectively. Keep the Other Leg Flat: While lifting one leg, keep the other leg flat on the ground. A common mistake is to lift the other leg off the ground, which can put unnecessary strain on your lower back. Engage Your Core: Remember to engage (tighten) your abdominal muscles while lifting your leg. This helps to stabilize your body and makes the exercise more effective. Avoid
