Leg Raise Lateral HK-stance

Video coming soon...

The Leg raise lateral HK-stance workout primarily engages the Abductor using bodyweight resistance.

While it may also involve secondary muscles, the focus is on the Abductor’s activation.

Stand with your feet hip-width apart, keeping your back straight and your arms relaxed by your sides.
Shift your weight onto your left leg and lift your right leg out to the side, keeping it straight and parallel to the floor.
Hold the raised position for a brief moment, engaging your core and glutes.
Lower your right leg back down to the starting position in a controlled manner.
Repeat the exercise with your left leg, alternating sides for each repetition.

Start with a wide stance, feet pointing outwards, to engage your abductor muscles.
Keep your core tight and back straight throughout the exercise to maintain proper form.
As you raise your leg laterally, focus on squeezing your abductor muscles to maximize engagement.
Avoid swinging your leg or using momentum to lift it; instead, control the movement with your muscles.
Go for a full range of motion, aiming to lift your leg as high as possible without compromising form.
Remember to breathe steadily and exhale as you lift your leg, inhaling as you lower it back down.
For beginners, start with 2-3 sets of 10-12 repetitions on each leg, gradually increasing as you get stronger.
