Leg Lift, step 2
2. Lift one leg back with a straight knee as far as your hip allows; lower slowly.

How to do it

  1. While standing up straight with both feet next to each other at around shoulder width, grab a sturdy surface such as the sides of a squat rack or the top of a chair to brace yourself and keep balance.
  2. With or without an ankle weight, lift one leg behind you as if performing a leg curl but standing up while keeping the other leg straight. Breathe out as you perform this movement.
  3. Slowly bring the raised leg back to the floor as you breathe in.
  4. Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
  5. Repeat the movement with the opposite leg.
