#Info – Side Lying Hip Raise
The Side Lying Hip Raise targets the obliques, glutes, and core. Common mistakes include letting the hips sag or twisting the torso. Focus on keeping the body aligned and the core engaged. To adapt to different fitness levels, beginners can bend the knees for more stability, while advanced users can add a resistance band around the thighs. Benefits include improved core stability and enhanced lateral strength. Always prioritize form over speed to prevent injury. For added variety, incorporate a side plank hold at the top of the movement.
