Standing Rear Leg Raise strengthens your legs and core while improving balance and flexibility.

Step 1
Stand upright, holding the back of a sturdy object, such as a chair, or rest your hands against a wall.
Step 2
Lift one leg, bringing it back to the back, and squeeze your buttocks at the top of the movement. Pause here and then return to the starting position.

Standing Rear Leg Raise targets Abs, Glutes, Hamstrings, Lower Body as seen below.

Don't go too far, and don't overdo your back at the beginning of the exercise. Keep your core tight to minimize the risk of injury.
Avoid leaning your torso forward during the exercise. Instead, keep your chest high and move with just your hips.
