Standing Side Glute Raise Against Wall
Starting Position:
1. Stand parallel to a wall, about an arm's length away.
2. Place your right hand on the wall for support. Ensure your arm is straight.
3. Keep your left hand on your hip or extend it outward for balance.
4. Stand tall with your feet together and your body straight.
Movement:
1. Engage your core muscles to maintain stability.
2. Slowly lift your left leg out to the side, keeping it straight. Raise it as high as is comfortable without leaning towards the wall.
3. Hold the raised position for a moment, feeling the contraction in your left glute.
4. Gradually lower your left leg back to the starting position.
5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions (about 10-15).
6. Switch to the other side, using your left hand for support on the wall and raising your right leg.
Tips:
- Keep your torso upright and avoid leaning.
- Move slowly and with control to avoid swinging your leg.
- Focus on squeezing your glutes as you lift your leg.
