Side-lying leg raise

Work through a controlled leg lift from your side.

How to do it

  1. Lie on your side with the lower knee bent and head supported.
  2. Keep the upper leg long and raise it a modest distance.
  3. Lower it slowly, then switch sides.

Form check

Avoid rolling your hip backward.

Make it easier

Lift the leg only a few centimetres.

Move within a comfortable range and keep breathing. Stop if a movement causes pain or you feel unwell. Ask a qualified trainer for help with unfamiliar equipment.
