Reverse standing leg raises
The reverse standing leg raises can help increase the strength of your gluteus muscle and boost your balance. Follow these tips to do the exercise:
- Hold onto the back of a chair or a wall to get balance.
- Hold your body straight, squeeze your abdominal muscles, and raise one leg off the ground at your back.
- Raise your leg straight behind you as high as possible without creating an arch with your back.
- Take your leg down until your toe comes in contact with the floor.
- Do it 12 times.
- Change legs and do it again.
- Ensure your spine is straight while doing the routine. You can do this by engaging in little, and managed movements. Avoid swinging your leg back as it can lead to back pain.
