Benefits:
- increased strength for abductors and the core muscles
- improved hip mobility and stability
Method:
Lay down on your side with your knees bent and resting on the mattress in front of you. The shoulders, hips, and heels are lined up.
Rest your head on your arm. Suck your belly button in and engage your core muscles as you inhale. When you exhale, lift your top knee, but keep your feet together, then inhale as you lower your knee down. Make sure that your hip is not rolling back when you move your leg.
