Side leg raises, on contrary to what they suggest, is actually a pretty effective glute exercise.

You work your glutes, shoulders and improve your balance.

Here’s how to do the perfect side leg raise…

• Place yourself on your hands and knees. Look directly downwards at the ground/floor.
• Now, move your left leg away from your body toward the left side such that your left feet is planted on the ground.
• Slowly, in a controlled motion, lift your left leg while keeping the rest of your body steady. Lift it as much as you can.
• Bring it back to rest.
• Repeat with your right leg.
