Lifting the leg in front support

How to perform a front leg raise?

Works:

• glutes and thigh muscles

Additionally works:

• core and shoulder muscles (stabilize the torso)

Starting position:

Insert your legs into the band loop and place it at ankle height. Assume a front leg raise position – hands under your shoulders, head, torso, hips, and legs in a straight line (hips can be a bit higher, but not lower!). Feet are close together. The band should be slightly taut in this position.

Movement: Keeping your torso stationary, alternately raise your right and left leg backward.

Tips: Tighten your abs. Keep your back straight. Keep your head aligned with your torso.

You will need a band for this exercise.
