Front Leg Raises

What it is

This bodyweight movement involves dynamically swinging your leg forward and then back, emphasizing control through its full range of motion. You primarily strengthen your hamstrings, which contributes to improved flexibility and power in your lower body.

Technique tips

• Use a chair or wall for support to maintain your balance.
• Keep your swinging leg straight throughout the entire movement.
• Move through your full range of motion, both forward and back.
• Engage your core to maintain a stable torso and good posture.
• Focus on controlled movements, avoiding excessive momentum.

How to track your progress

Log the hold time of each set. Straddly keeps your best hold for this exercise and tells you when you beat it, so a two-second gain does not go unnoticed.
