Teaching points
- Lay on your back on the floor with both legs straight
- Keeping the knee straight, raise one leg off the floor
- Start by lifting just a few inches and increase as you progress
Variations & progressions
- Lay on a bench with one leg bent and the foot on the floor to support you
- Start with the other leg straight and the heel on the ground (so your hip is in an extended position)
- Keep the knee straight as you raise this leg off the floor and above the level of the bench
- Add an ankle weight to increase the difficulty
