Instructions
Seated Single Leg Raise
Positioning:
1. Sit on the floor with your legs extended in front of you.
2. Lean back slightly for support, using your hands to prop yourself up. Your palms should be placed flat on the ground behind you, fingers pointing toward your feet.
3. Keep your back straight and your core engaged.
Movement:
1. Bend your right knee, lifting your right foot off the ground while keeping your left leg straight.
2. Slowly extend your right leg out in front of you, keeping it at a level with your left leg. Your foot should point forward.
3. Hold this position for a moment, feeling the engagement in your hip and thigh muscles.
4. Lower your right leg back to the starting position.
5. Repeat the movement for 8-12 repetitions.
6. Switch to the left leg and repeat the same steps.
Tips:
- Maintain control throughout the movement; avoid using momentum.
- Keep your core tight to support your back.
- If you find it challenging, you can perform the exercise without lifting your leg all the way or by reducing the range of motion.
