Side-Lying Leg Lift
Side-Lying Leg Lift is effective to build strength in the hip abductor muscles – responsible for pushing your leg away from your body, especially the gluteus minimus and gluteus medius muscles.
BEGINNER
Inner-Thigh Lift
Inner-Thigh Lift helps to support your knees and lower back, especially when doing any heavy lifting. This exercise primarily strengthens the glutes and legs, requiring core engagement.
Instructions
- Lie on your side, supporting your upper body on your elbow, and place your opposite hand behind your head.
- Prepare your torso and keep your spine straight. Lift both feet slightly off the floor. Then bend your top knee and bring it to your chest while lifting your leg and lifting it off the floor. Pause and then straighten both legs until they are just above the ground. Return to the starting position.
Tips
- Avoid using momentum to complete the exercise. Focus on squeezing your inner thighs with each rep.
- Always keep your head in line with your spine.
