Side Leg Lifts
Leg lifts are terrific because they are easily modified. One of the best ways to add even more challenge to them is to switch them up for side leg lifts. These, much like the previous exercise, are easy to do from just about anywhere.
To start working out your hips with side leg lifts, you’ll want to lay down on the floor on your right side. Ideally, you want the entire side of your body to be touching the floor, including the side of your right leg, too. To start, lift your left leg up into the air until it reaches a 45 degree angle. Hold this for a few seconds before slowly exhaling and lowering your. Perform this exercise 10 times on your right side, then 10 on your left side. As a final tip, some people may find this challenging at first; be sure to only raise your leg to a comfortable level. Never force your leg to extend painfully upward, as this can result in torn muscles and damage to the joints.
