Front Leg Raises Exercise
Builds strength and control by improving stability, coordination, and efficient movement.
Description
Front leg raises focuses on controlled movement and maintaining proper body alignment throughout the exercise. The goal is to create tension where needed while avoiding unnecessary strain or momentum. This helps improve movement quality, joint stability, and overall physical control.
Instructions:
- Stand next to a chair or other support, holding on with one hand.
- Swing your leg forward, keeping the leg straight. Continue with a downward swing, bringing the leg as far back as your flexibility allows. Repeat 5-10 times, and then switch legs.
Exercise FAQ
What’s the safest way to progress over time?
Add a small amount of reps first, then load. If technique slips, step back and rebuild with cleaner reps. Think of it as raising done with repeatable, clean reps.
Does grip or stance matter?
Yes—small changes can shift what you feel and how stable you are. Pick the most controlled position and keep it consistent while you learn the movement. Think of it as raising done with repeatable, clean reps.
What’s a common mistake people make here?
Rushing reps and losing body position. Keep the movement smooth and repeatable so tension stays where you want it.
