GLUTES

Standing Leg Side Hold

BeginnerBodyweight

This is a standing isometric hold that challenges the glutes and the muscles that pull your leg out to the side. Keeping one leg lifted forces the standing hip to work hard for balance while the raised side stays tensed. It's useful for building hip control, endurance, and single-leg stability.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Stand tall and shift your weight onto one foot, keeping a slight bend in that knee.

  2. 2

    Raise the other leg out to the side with your toes pointed forward.

  3. 3

    Tighten your glutes, hips, and thighs to hold the leg in place.

  4. 4

    Keep your chest lifted, shoulders back, and core braced so you don't tip to one side.

  5. 5

    Hold for the set duration, feeling it in the glute and outer hip, then switch legs.
