Execution
- Lie on your right side with your knees bent at a 45-degree angle. Keep your feet stacked on top of each other
- Rest your head on your lower arm and your top arm to steady your body. Make sure your hipbones are right above each other.
- Raise your upper knee as high as you can without moving your hips and with your feet still touching. Make sure your abdominals are turned on to stabilise your spine.
- Return to the starting position and repeat.
- Switch to the other side and repeat the exercise.
Points of attention
- Keep your abdominal wall engaged.
- Use your glutes to lift your knee up.
