How to perform it
- Place yourself on your hands knees on an exercise mat. Your head should be looking forward and the bend of the knees should create a 90-degree angle between the hamstrings and the calves. This will be your starting position.
- Extend one leg up and behind you. The knee and hip should both extend. Repeat for 5-10 repetitions, and then switch sides.
Muscles worked
The Rear Leg Raises primarily targets your Quadriceps. You'll need body only.
Make it count toward your goal
Random sets rarely move the needle. In NYUS, the Rear 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.
