Instructions
Seated Single Leg Raise on Chair
1. Starting Position:
- Sit on the edge of a sturdy chair with your back straight and feet flat on the floor.
2. Hand Placement:
- Place your hands on the sides of the chair for support.
3. Leg Positioning:
- Keep one leg bent with your foot planted on the floor. Extend the other leg straight out in front of you, keeping your toes pointed upwards.
4. Movement:
- Engage your core and slowly raise the extended leg until it is parallel to the floor. Ensure your knee is straight, and do not let your upper body lean back.
- Hold this position for a moment.
5. Lowering the Leg:
- Slowly lower your leg back to the starting position without letting your foot touch the floor until after completing the reps.
6. Repetition:
- Perform 10-15 repetitions on one leg, then switch to the other leg.
7. Breathing:
- Inhale as you prepare and exhale as you lift your leg. Inhale again as you lower it back down.
8. Tips:
- Maintain a stable upper body throughout the movement.
- Focus on controlled movements rather than speed for better muscle engagement.
Caution:
- If you feel any discomfort in your back or hips, adjust your position or take a break.
