Rotation |
Top |
|
| This exercise combines a straight leg raise with the rotation
of the leg. This works the lower quadriceps muscle. To
do this exercise, raise the leg in a straightened position
about one foot off the ground. Then with your toe up,
rotate the foot to the left and then back to the right.
Hold for ten seconds. Go back to the starting position.
Repeat this exercise 20 times for each leg. |
