Muscles Used	Primary: iliospoas, iliacus, and rectus femoris
Starting Position	It is best if each leg is done individually. Lie on your back, with your legs fully extended.
Description	Lift your leg up towards the chest flexing the knee and the hip joint as you lift upwards (lift as high as you can). As you return to the starting position extend the knee and hip.
Spotting	Stand beside the leg being exercised. Provide resistance above the knee with one hand and with the other hand on the lifter's ankle.
