Leg slides

1. Lay on your back, arms lay by your side palms down.
2. Bring knees up in the air bent 90 degrees.
3. Slowly extend one leg out and towards the floor
4. Slowly bring that leg back in to start position.
5. Repeat on opposite leg.

Tip – to regress this exercise you can keep one foot on the floor. To make it harder you can bring arms up above you in line with chest, hands palms together. If you experience any back pain, stop movement, readjust your back and don’t bring leg down as low, your core is not strong enough just yet. Keep your tempo slow, aim for 3-5 seconds on both way out and bringing leg back in.

Target = core (transverse abdominis – inner core responsible for stabilising)
