Lying straight-leg raise

  • Duration: 6 min
  • Level: Beginner

Lie on your back with one knee bent and your foot flat on the floor, and the other leg extended straight along the mat. This is your starting position. Breathe out as you lift the straight leg toward the ceiling, keeping your lower back pressed gently into the mat, then breathe in as you lower it back down with control just before it touches the floor. Repeat 8 to 10 times, then switch legs.
