CUES: Side Lying Legs
Try these cues to accomplish a successful set of side-lying legs.
you’ll need a floor + a mat is recommended
Lay down on your side on your mat facing the other side.
stack your legs and cradle your head however you feel comfortable (head in hands, rested on the top of the arm)
to modify, bend your bottom knee as far as you’d like.
to advance, lay like you are in a toaster with legs straight underneath you.
smooth out the top side of your body. (THINK: reach your hip out of your armpit)
with control, lift your top leg to hover as high or low as you’d like. Try to keep the leg straight. If you bend the leg, do it on purpose.
use your abs and hips to repeat lifting and lowering the leg at a controlled pace and with focused effort.
Try to not touch the feet together. If you need to then do it on purpose.
After 6-8 reps, try these other options:
drawing a circle with your toes (from the hips)
bend the knee to 90 deg and extend (keep the knee + shin pointing forward)
any of these with a flexed foot vs a pointed foot
Do the same thing on the other side.
