3Side-Lying Leg Raises

The side-lying leg raises target hip abductors, glutes, and core muscles, which can help enhance your stability. First, you need to lie on the left side with the right hip directly over the left. Straighten the body and press the right hand on the ground to gain support. You can support the head with a pillow or the other hand. Put the foot to ensure the heel is a bit higher than the toes. Next, slowly raise the right leg. Stay in this position for a few seconds before returning to the initial position. Do 3 sets of 20 reps on each side. [3]
