Bottom Leg Lift Left

Muscles worked: Inner Thighs & Hips

Bottom Leg Lift Left works the inner thigh of the bottom leg from a side-lying position: lying on your left side, you lift the bottom (left) leg a short way off the floor.

Keep your body in a straight line and lift only a few centimetres — this is a small, precise movement, and a big swing recruits the wrong muscles. Keep your waist still and let the inner thigh do the lifting.

How to do it

1. Lie on your left side, stacked in a straight line, with your top leg still.
2. Lift your bottom (left) leg a short way off the floor with control.
3. Keep your body in a straight line and lift only a few centimetres — this is a small, precise movement, and a big swing recruits the wrong muscles.
4. Keep your waist still and let the inner thigh do the lifting.
5. Lower slowly back down.
