External Hip Raise strengthen the hip external rotators, improving stability and preventing injuries in the hips, knees, and ankles.

Step 1
Lie on your side with your arm extended in front of you on the floor. Keep your legs completely straight and feet bent towards you.
Step 2
Lift your top leg towards the sky, stopping at hip height, making sure your foot and hip are fully pointed forward. Pause and then lower your leg back to the starting position.

External Hip Raise targets Abs, Glutes, Hips as seen below.

The movement should take place at the hip. Try not to move your upper body to compensate for the lack of movement in your hips.
Don't let your foot move forward or backward. Instead, keep it in line with your body.
Keep your foot pointing straight ahead rather than letting it spin up.
