The special thing about lifting the knee
Are you in the mood for a simple and quick butt exercise that you can do at home? Then the leg lift is just the thing for you.
It is especially suitable for beginners. However, lifting the leg works not only on the buttocks, but also on your thighs at the same time.
Since you're standing on one leg during the workout, you're also challenging your sense of balance. So pay close attention.
These 11 exercises will improve your balance!
You don't need exercise machines or other equipment to lift your knees. Why not do it at work or during your lunch break?

Lifting the knee: firm buttocks and toned legs
Stand upright and shoulder-width apart. Bend your knees very slightly.
Now slowly but powerfully lift one leg. And alternately the left and the right.
Tighten your abdomen and upper body.
Calf and thigh should be at right angles to each other.
You can use your arms as a measuring stick. The palms are open and your knees touch them. There are many variations. Or you can choose number two: let your arms simply swing along with your knee.
Tighten your buttocks and legs during the exercise. Do you feel the pulling in the butt muscles? Very good - keep it up :)
Beware of these errors
The back is upright and the knee is raised as high as possible. But make sure that even in the highest position you stretch your back straight and do not slouch.
Very important: body tension and upright posture!
These butt exercises will change your life!
