Side Leg Raise Right

Muscles worked: Abs & Core, Legs, Inner Thighs & Hips · Also: Legs & Glutes

Side Leg Raise Right is the right-side version: raise the right leg out to the side, hold briefly, and lower slowly.

Leaning away from the lifted leg is the mistake to avoid — stay upright and let the hip do the work. Do the same reps as the left side, and keep the range honest rather than forcing height.

How to do it

1. Stand tall or lie on your side, with your torso tall and still.
2. Raise your right leg out to the side and hold briefly.
3. Lower slowly with control.
4. Leaning away from the lifted leg is the mistake to avoid — stay upright and let the hip do the work.
5. Do the same reps as the left side, and keep the range honest rather than forcing height.
