Day 69 – Bent Leg Lift

Reverse Bent Leg Lift

Reverse Bent Leg Lift

HOW TO…

  1. Sit down on the floor with your legs extended.
  2. Bend one leg and place your foot near the knee position of your other leg.
  3. Now place your hands behind you. Your hands should be facing toward your feet.
  4. Next, push up your hips upwards until your body is straight. Both legs remain on the floor at this time.
  5. While in the full reverse plank position, make sure to look up and not towards your feet.
  6. Now lift your extended leg until about a 30-degree angle with the other upper leg.
  7. Hold for a few seconds.
  8. Lower the extended leg back to the floor.
  9. Repeat for the other side.

Note: This exercise looks a lot like the Reverse Bent Leg Lift. The main variation here is the extension of the lifted leg. That makes the exercise more difficult than having the leg bent.

Progression: Hold the bent leg lift for each leg for up to 10 seconds on each side, alternating sides without lowering your hips.

Variation: Too hard? Limit the lift of your leg. Try increasing it a bit every time to reach the 30-degree angle.
