Single Leg Hip Raise

How To Do A Single Leg Hip Raise Correctly

The Single Leg Hip Raise is a great exercise to hit your hamstrings, glutes, and core.

To get started:

1. Lie down on your back, with one leg straight, and the other with your knee bent, and foot firmly on the floor.
2. Place your arms out to your sides, with your palms up.
3. Contract your abs, and press your foot through the floor, to raise your hips up, while keeping your other leg straight.
4. Make sure you squeeze your glutes and hamstrings, while your body forms a straight line from your shoulders to your knees.
5. Lower your hips slowly towards the floor, but do not touch the floor.
6. Keep the muscles contracting by remaining 1 inch off the ground.
7. Repeat all the reps with one leg, then switch legs.
