Side Plank with Leg Raise
1 - Lie on your side on an exercise mat or the floor. Extend your bottom arm under your head as a support pillow and place your top hand on your hip or in front of you for balance. Your legs should be straight, and your body should form a straight line.
2 - Tighten your abdominal muscles to stabilize your spine.
3 - Lift your top leg as high as you comfortably can, keeping it straight. Focus on using the muscles on the side of your hip to perform the movement.
4 - At the top of the movement, briefly hold the leg raised for a moment to maximize the muscle engagement.
5 - Lower your leg back down to the starting position with control but without letting it rest on the floor.
6 - Perform the desired number of repetitions on one side before switching to the other side.
