Tips |
- If you find this difficult, don't hold the leg up at the
top, or alternate legs instead of doing all the repetitions with one
leg at a time.
- Try and keep your weight from
shifting onto your hands.
- Focus on contracting
your glutes to raise your leg and keep the knee completely straight.
- Keep your neck straight and chin tucked in to avoid neck
strain.
- If your back is weak, take frequent rests.
