Leg lift crawl
This exercise strengthens your back and abdomen muscles.
- Kneeling on hands and knees, place your hands directly under your shoulders and straighten your arms.
- Lift your left knee and point it toward your elbow, while lowering your chin toward your chest.
- Slowly extend your leg behind you without completely straightening it, while raising your head to look in front of you. Avoid arching your back.
- Do left and right lifts 5 to 10 times each.
