Leg Exercises

Leg lifts

Set up - An exercise designed to hit the upper leg muscles to develop stability. Select a resistance band for your current fitness level. You can use a loop exercise band or create a loop if you have a band with attachments by hooking the ends together. As this is a small movement, you will need a small band. This can be created by forming a figure eight with the looped band and folding together. If you do this, it’s important to note that the band will have double the resistance.

Start position – Place the loop on the floor around your feet, which should be about shoulder width apart. Stand up straight, keep your back flat, abs engaged and look forward. Your knees should not be locked, they should be slightly bent, and your quads should be engaged. The loop band should be at slight tension in this position.

Movement – As you exhale, slowly and under control, pull one leg up until your quad is parallel with the floor. The sole of your foot should also be parallel with the floor or toes slightly pointing up to add extra value to the exercise. If you have trouble with balancing, put your arms out to your sides or use a stable abject to steady yourself. This is the top of the movement and the point where you inhale and slowly return to the start position. A point to note here is that if you need to steady yourself, you should not use this to weight bear. This completes one rep.
