Rear Leg Raises
Rear Leg Raises is a stretching exercise using body only that trains the quadriceps.
StretchingBody OnlyBeginnerPush
Primary muscles: Quadriceps
How to do it
- Place yourself on your hands knees on an exercise mat. Your head should be looking forward and the bend of the knees should create a 90-degree angle between the hamstrings and the calves. This will be your starting position.
- Extend one leg up and behind you. The knee and hip should both extend. Repeat for 5-10 repetitions, and then switch sides.
