Alternating lowering and raising of one leg in supine position ► alternating bent knee raise

Individual work

Lie on your back with your upper body slightly raised (shoulder blades lifted off the floor), legs bent and held high (slightly more than 90 degrees at the knee joint, lower leg parallel to the floor), outstretched arms pointing slightly backwards at an angle, grasp the weight with both hands. Lower one leg so that the heel briefly touches the floor and return to the starting position (the angle in the knee joint remains practically unchanged). Switch sides after each exercise.

Attention:
Always keep your shoulder blades off the floor (constant tension), head in a neutral position (no double chin).

Lighten:
Hold your arms at chest height or even further forwards; do not hold any additional weight in your hands.

Harden:
Hold your arms further back at an angle; more weight.
