How To Perform the Side Leg Raise

  1. Start by lying on your side with your legs extended and stacked on top of each other. Rest your head on your lower arm and place your upper arm's hand on the floor in front of you for support.
  2. Engage your core to stabilize your body. Slowly lift your top leg upwards as high as you can while keeping it straight. Avoid rotating your hips or torso.
  3. Hold the position at the top briefly, ensuring you feel the contraction in your hip and glute muscles.
  4. Slowly lower your leg back to the starting position.
  5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, then switch sides.
