The single leg raise is an exercise designed to work your
hip extensor. Lie face up on a flat surface. Bend your
right knee so your right foot rests flat on the floor. Your
left leg should be straight and your knee relaxed.

Exhale as you slowly raise your left leg up until your
knees are parallel. Inhale as you slowly lower your leg
back down. Don’t allow your leg to touch the floor; try to
keep it at least an inch above the floor. Perform three
sets of 15 to 25 repetitions. Switch legs and repeat. When
you become comfortable performing this exercise, you can
add light ankle weights to increase the resistance and make
the movement more challenging.
