Quadruped with leg lift is a dynamic body-weight exercise that increases hip and shoulder stability, mobility, and strength. The leg-lift motion targets the hamstrings and core

Instructions

Get down on your hands and knees with your hands shoulder-width apart and flat on the floor. Your knees should be hip-width apart and bent to 90 degrees.
Tighten your core and extend one leg completely behind you to raise it to hip height, using your abs to maintain stability. Lower the leg to return to the starting position.

Trainer’s Tips

Keep your back flat.
Do not let your torso sway as you raise your leg.
