How to do it
A side-lying leg lift for the muscles at the side of your hip. Add an ankle weight once it feels easy. Do the reps on one side, then switch.
- Lie on your side with your legs straight and stacked, head resting on your arm.
- Keep your hips stacked and your top toes pointing forward.
- Lift your top leg to about hip height, then lower it slowly.
Tips and safety
- Don't roll your hips backwards as you lift.
- Start without an ankle weight.
Move within a comfortable range and stop if you feel pain. If you have an injury or health condition, check with a qualified professional first.
