How to do it
- Keep one side of your body in contact with the ground, particularly from hip to ankle.
- Rest on your elbow, but ensure your back is in line with your legs and not leaning forward.
- Keeping your core muscled tight, lift your upper leg approximately 45 degrees, keeping the toes pointing forward
- lower it in a controlled, smooth manner.
Exercise Tips:
- Prevent the toes pointing to the ceiling, lift the heel up instead
- Place your hand on the tup of your butt and try to feel the glute muscles working
- Pull your toes up towards your shin
