Quad Set
If you feel the straight leg raise exercise too tough then do quad sets instead. While performing these you don’t have to raise your leg. Simply tighten your thigh muscles (quadriceps) of one leg at a time.
- Start by lying on the floor.
- Keep both legs on the ground, relaxed.
- Flex and hold one leg tense for 5 seconds. Relax.
- Do two sets of 10 repetitions. Switch to the other leg after each set.
