How To: Alternating Single Leg Speed Raise

  1. 1Brace the trunk before increasing the movement speed.
  2. 2Keep the leg action compact enough that the lower back remains controlled.
  3. 3Switch from the hips while keeping the knees at the intended angle.
  4. 4Maintain an even rhythm without letting the feet crash to the floor.

Common Mistakes

  1. 1Increasing speed beyond the point where the pelvis can stay stable.
  2. 2Holding the breath and losing trunk tension as fatigue builds.

Good For

Abdominal endurance, faster hip-flexion control and conditioning-style core work.
