Side Leg Raises

Side Leg Raises are one of the finest bodyweight exercises to incorporate into your training program if you want to target your leg muscles. Side Leg Raises, also known as side leg lifts and side-lying leg lifts, are a sort of bodyweight exercise that works the leg muscles, core, hip flexors, hamstrings, and lower back muscles. You can apply Side Leg Raises to warm up before training. This exercise is not only good for the legs but also helps you to have a slimmer waist.

To perform this exercise, you lie on your side, with your legs extended and stacked, resting your forearms on the ground and lifting people up. You can lie on a mat to relieve hand pain. Then raise the upper leg toward the ceiling slowly and with control. Be sure to lift only from the hips and buttocks, not the lower back. Continue to return to the starting position and switch sides. Side Leg Raises are a versatile exercise. After you've mastered the regular side leg raise, attempt a more difficult variant with ankle weights or a resistance band wrapped over your legs. Try the standing side leg lift variant if you want to use your stabilizer muscles more.
