Why this one
Lifting the top leg strengthens the outer hip through its full range.
How to do it
Stack your hips and shoulders. Lift the top leg upward on an inhale, and flex the foot to lower it slowly on an exhale.
Keep in mind
Precision over height — keep the hips stacked.
Every move: lightly lift your pelvic floor — a gentle lift, never a clench — and breathe slow and full (hold the stretches for about 5 easy breaths, at least 30 seconds). New to the lift? →
