Great exercise for runners, athletes with knee pain or those fighting back pain!

This is a great exercise to strengthen the hips which protect the joints above and below them (the knees and the low back!)



Hold the each rep for 5-10 seconds, I usually perform 3 sets of 10, or just go until I can't go anymore while talking on the phone or watching TV.



It's important to not let anything above the hips move or rotate as the leg lifts or you are working entirely different muscles!
