Hip raises to the side on the floor
The traditional execution of hip raises is performed on the floor and generally does not require additional weights. In the following section, we will delve into the optimal body posture and correct execution for abdominal muscle training, whether it be without added weights or using weights.
Body position
Start by lying on one side of your body, intending to later train the other side. The forearm rests on the floor, legs are extended, and feet are stacked on top of each other. Your entire body should form a straight line. To aid balance, you can support the hand on the upper side at your hip. The head serves as a natural extension of your spine. If weights are used, hold a dumbbell at your hip to intensify the exercise.
Movement execution
In the standard variation, initiate the movement by lifting the hip off the floor. Lower the hip again while inhaling, with the movement stopping a few centimeters above the floor. Lift the hip back up while exhaling, executing the movement as far as possible, ensuring the body does not lean to the side. Hold tension briefly at the top and then lower the body again. After training one side, switch to the other.
In an alternative version of this exercise, assume a similar starting position. However, you can bend the lower leg backward for added comfort. Begin by lifting the body off the floor and executing the movement with a maximum radius. Pause briefly above the floor, inhale, and then return to the starting position.
