Alternating Straight-Leg Raise
Step 1
Lie on your back on a yoga mat. Gently draw your ribs to your hips to engage your core. Keeping your feet together, slowly raise your legs off the floor until they form a 90-degree angle with your hips. This is your starting position.
Step 2
Inhale. Exhale. While keeping your legs extended, slowly lower your right leg until it almost touches the floor, ensuring your spine remains in a neutral position.
Step 3
Inhale. Raise your right leg to return to the starting position.
Step 4
Exhale. While keeping your legs extended, slowly lower your left leg until it almost touches the floor, ensuring your spine remains in a neutral position.
Step 5
Inhale. Raise your left leg to return to the starting position. Continue alternating between right and left for the specified number of repetitions.
