How to do the Side-Lying Leg Raise

1. Lie on one side with legs extended and feet stacked.
2. Rest your head on your lower arm and place the top hand on your hip.
3. Engage your core and lift the top leg toward the ceiling, creating about a forty-five degree angle.
4. Hold briefly, lower with control, and repeat before switching sides.

Tips

• Keep your body in a straight line and avoid letting the hips roll forward or back.

Adjustments

• Work through a smaller range of motion if lifting high feels challenging.
