I've been looking for ways to strengthen my core alongside my glutes. This side-lying leg lift is perfect for that.

I love that this workout targets multiple muscle groups. It's great for runners looking to enhance their overall strength.

How on earth do you balance on your side like that? I'm having a really hard time not rolling onto my back

[SummitVaats-nq]

This exercise really isolates the glutes. I've noticed a big difference in my running performance since adding it to my routine.

[nikitaw]

Can I do this daily or only a few times a week? I'm pretty weak here. It's embarrassing but also good to have located a weakest link for running that is easily fixed.

I always thought that this type of excersise was more for toning the inner thighs?

[Rosie-bzgz]

I did 5 of these each side but these have made my hips really sore and stiff. I've got bilateral hip bursitis and tendonitis.

To properly perform this exercise, you must first tighten your quads to straighten your leg, tighten/active your glutes then you lift the leg up. Other wise you aren't getting the full benefit of this exercise.

[kirstendunst]

this exercise may cause your hips wider and make butt bigger.

[celinacalderon]

Is this exercise supposed to make your hips hurt? Because mine do.

[mpam]
