Single-Leg Lower
A slow lying leg lower that teaches your core to hold your pelvis still while one leg moves.
Demo by Lena, an AI coach. Its start and end, as stills.
- Works
- abs; also hip flexors, quads
- Kit
- Mat
- Dose
- 6 to 10 reps each side
It goes into the workout in progress at the Bench, as a new group in its main set.
Set up
Lie on your back with both legs straight up toward the ceiling and arms by your sides. Lower one leg at a time.
While you move
- Low back stays heavy
- Lower slow, toe pulled up
- Top leg stays tall
- Stop before your back lifts
Avoid
- Letting your lower back arch as the leg drops
- Bending the knee of the leg that stays up
Take care if you have trouble with lying on your back (later pregnancy).
