# Alternate Leg Raise

Lie down on your back with your arms resting on the floor by your side.

## How to do it

1. Lie down on your back with your arms resting on the floor by your side.
2. Raise your legs straight in the air, making a 90-degree angle with your torso.
3. Lower one of your legs and bring it back just before touching the floor.
4. Do the same with your other leg, and repeat.

## Form tips

- Keep your core engaged throughout the exercise to maintain stability and protect your lower back.
- Perform the movement slowly and with control to maximize muscle activation and prevent injury.
- Breathe steadily, exhaling as you lift your leg and inhaling as you lower it back down.
