Straightening the legs - alternately, lying on your back and with your hips up

How to perform alternating leg extensions?

The movement is performed by:

• glutes

Additionally works:

• thighs

Starting position:

Lie on your back. Bend your knees and place your feet hip-width apart on the floor a short distance from your buttocks. Place your arms alongside your body, draw in your abdominals, and tighten your abdominal muscles. Lift your hips, squeezing your glutes at the top of the movement.

Movement:

Alternately, with an exhale, straighten one leg at a time, then the other, making sure your thighs remain at the same height.

Tips:

Feet a step away from your buttocks and hip-width apart.

Strengthen your abdominals and glutes.
