Leg Lift

How to do the Leg Lift

1. 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. 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. 3

   Slowly bring the raised leg back to the floor as you breathe in.

4. 4

   Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.

5. 5

   Repeat the movement with the opposite leg.
