How to perform it
Lie on your side with your legs extended and stacked on top of each other. Prop yourself up on your forearm, keeping your elbow directly below your shoulder. Engage your core and lift your hips off the ground, creating a straight line from your head to your feet. While keeping your core engaged, lift your top leg as high as possible without rotating your hips. Pause for a moment at the top, then lower your leg back down. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, then switch sides.
