Lying Leg Crossover
Positioning
1. Begin by lying flat on your back on a comfortable surface or exercise mat.
2. Extend your legs straight up in the air, keeping your feet together.
3. Place your arms flat on the ground beside you for stability.
Movement
1. Slowly lower your right leg out to the side, keeping it straight and controlled, until it is just above the ground.
2. Make sure your left leg remains vertical and does not move.
3. Hold the stretch for a moment and then return your right leg to the starting position.
4. Repeat the same movement with your left leg, lowering it out to the side while keeping your right leg vertical.
5. Continue alternating legs for a set duration or number of repetitions, such as 10-15 times on each side.
Tips
- Engage your core muscles throughout the exercise to maintain stability.
- Move slowly to avoid straining your back or hips.
- Breathe deeply and consistently during the movement to help with relaxation and control.
