Side Lying Leg Circle
Lying on one side, lift the straight top leg and draw circles with it; the side glute holds the leg up for the whole set.
How to do it
Setup
On one side, propped on the forearm, legs straight and stacked, the top leg lifted a little.
Steps
- Trace circles with the top leg about a foot's length across.
- Reverse the direction after half the reps.
- Lower the leg and switch sides.
Common mistakes
Hips rolling back as the leg circles: keep them stacked. Leg dropping between circles: it stays lifted the whole set. Circling from the knee: the whole straight leg moves from the hip.
Breathing
Steady throughout; never held.
