5. Single Leg Straddle
- Begin seated with your legs straddled, or you can have 1 leg bent to make it easier.
- Lift one leg in towards your chest and release back down.
- Even if you can't get the lift, you can still engage the muscles and the lift will come with time.
- To take it 1 step further, you can place a block by your leg and lift your leg over the block and back again.
- Try to keep your spine straight and core engaged.
