Prone Leg Raises
How to do it: You can use a mat to do this exercise to add padding underneath you.
Lie flat on your stomach and stretch your legs behind you. For comfort, you can rest your head on your arms. With your gluteus and hamstring muscles in your right leg, raise your leg as high as you can conveniently without inflicting any pain and your knees not flexed. Make sure your pelvic bones are kept on the floor during the course of this exercise.
Keep your raised leg in the same position for about 5 seconds and then lower. Allow your leg to stay down for a few seconds and, then repeat this same procedure. Do two to three sets of ten reps for each leg.
What it does: Prone leg raise helps to engage your hamstring and gluteus muscles. [6]
