Active straight leg raise with quad set

This exercise is primarily good for quadriceps and hip flexors.
Step 1 – Lie straight on your back with one leg bent and the other leg straight. Next,
make a posterior pelvic tilt to guard your back from injury. Further, draw your umbilicus
(belly button) toward the floor. If done correctly, your back must be flat against the
floor. You can also monitor your method by putting your hand under the slight curve of
your back and flattening your back so that your back is “crushing” your hand. With your
toes pointed towards the ceiling, keep one leg straight and raise another to 45 degrees.
Step 2 – Gradually lower the lifted leg back to the floor, but avoid jerky motion.
Repeat 12-16 times
