Weighted One Leg Lift

Expert Advice

Ensure that the weight is securely attached and that you lift your leg using the strength of your quads and glutes, not momentum.

How-to-do Steps

  1. Secure the weight around your ankle and stand with your feet hip-width apart.
  2. Hold onto a stable surface for balance if needed.
  3. Slowly lift one leg straight out in front of you, keeping your knee straight.
  4. Lower the leg back down with control.
  5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions before switching to the other leg.
