9Leg Raises
Leg raises can help develop and strengthen the iliotibial band and tensor fasciae latae. They run along the outside part of the upper leg and are important for side-to-side leg movements. Also, this exercise can benefit quadriceps, gluteus minimus, and gluteus maximus. Start with lying on the left side and extend out the left arm to keep balance. Raise the leg as far as possible and try to achieve a good range of motion. Bring back the right leg and make sure it is in line with the left leg. Do 15 reps and switch to the other leg. Do 3 sets. If the exercise irritates you, place a foam mat or pillow between the hip joint and the ground. Otherwise, try standing leg raises. [9]
