How to perform it

  1. Stand next to a chair or other support, holding on with one hand.
  2. Swing your leg forward, keeping the leg straight. Continue with a downward swing, bringing the leg as far back as your flexibility allows. Repeat 5-10 times, and then switch legs.

The Front Leg Raises primarily targets your Hamstrings. You'll need body only.

Make it count toward your goal

Random sets rarely move the needle. In NYUS, the Front Leg Raises slots into a plan built for your goal — sets and reps set in the plan, logged in two taps, and folded into a weekly check-in that adjusts your calories, macros and step goal.
