Hip Raise
The hip raise, of course, can also engage the muscles around the hips with ease. This is another self-oriented exercise that can be done by almost anyone at any time. To start, find a comfortable spot on a flat floor.
Lay on your back with your hands out at your side. Bend your knees up with your feet sitting flat against the floor. Next, raise your hips and point one leg outward. Hold this position for a few seconds, and then go back to knees up. For best results, this should be done in sets of five to 10 with a short break between legs. If you need more challenge, try adding 2-lb or 5-lb ankle weights before you try this exercise.
