1. Lie on your side on a comfortable surface with your body in a straight line. Rest your head on your outstretched lower arm, and place your top hand on the floor in front of your chest for balance.
2. Keep your bottom leg slightly bent for stability throughout the exercise.
3. Engage your core and glutes. Raise your top leg upward while keeping your hips stacked and your body stable. Your top leg should form a "T" shape with your body at the highest point of the movement.
4. Pause briefly at the top before slowly lowering your leg back down to the starting position.
5. Perform the desired number of repetitions on one side, then switch to the other side and repeat.
6. Remember to keep the movements controlled and avoid rocking your hips or using momentum.
It is important to keep your core engaged during this exercise to maintain stability and to maximize the activation of the targeted muscle groups. Adjust the number of sets and repetitions according to your fitness level.
