Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Lying Single Leg Raise.
The Lying Single Leg Raise is a core floor exercise performed on your back, where you lift one straight leg at a time toward vertical while keeping the other leg low. It targets the lower abdominals and hip flexors with minimal spinal strain.
The Lying Single Leg Raise is a foundational movement that builds strength and muscle through controlled, progressive overload. Train it 1 to 2 times per week with 3 to 5 working sets per session, gradually adding weight or reps as form holds up.
