Smoothly raise the bent leg upwards, taking it from a start position where both knees are close together, to one where you finish with your thigh horizontal to the floor.
Focus on keeping the movement slow and under control, feeling your glut and hip extensor muscles work as they raise the leg upwards, maintaining an equal position between your legs, avoid letting your leg move out to the side, or rotate around from your waist.
Stretch and Warm Up before you commence any exercise and aim to finish with some good stretching to let your body and mind recover.
