Lying Side Leg Lifts

1. Lay on your side on a soft workout surface with your lower arm bent at the elbow, your lower hand cushioning your head, and your legs straight out below with one leg on top of the other

2. Place your top hand on the floor just in front of your chest

3. Using your outer thigh and glute muscles, raise the top leg up and away from your lower leg

4. Keeping that leg straight, aim to reach a 45-degree angle before pausing briefly and lowering to the starting position
