Lying Reverse Leg Extension

Expert Advice

Ensure your hips stay grounded and the movement comes from your hamstrings and glutes to prevent lower back strain.

How-to-do Steps

  1. Lie face down on the floor with your legs straight.
  2. Lift one leg off the ground, squeezing your glutes at the top of the movement.
  3. Lower the leg back down with control.
  4. Alternate legs and repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
