Push Up Position Leg Raise instructions
Step-by-step instructions
1
Find an open space on the floor and get into a push up position. This means your palms should be flat on the ground, shoulder-width apart with your feet together behind you.
2
Keep your back and legs straight, forming a straight line from your head to your heels.
3
Lift one leg up off the ground, keeping it straight. Your foot should only be a few inches off the floor.
4
Hold for a second, then lower your leg back down and switch to the other leg.
5
Do this alternately for the programmed number of reps. Be careful not to sag your hips. This could lead to lower back pain.
