How to Do
How to Do Supine Floor Leg Extension
The supine floor leg extension should begin with good posture to avoid injury. Brace the spine by drawing your lower abdomen inward. Your core muscles should be activated to support your posture as you perform the exercise.
If any pain is experienced, immediately stop the supine floor leg extension.
Beginning

1. Lie down on a firm surface, preferably the floor, on your back. This is so that your muscles don't have to work as hard to keep you in correct alignment; instead, the floor can assist you. If you're on a wood floor, you might want to execute the exercise barefoot to avoid slipping.
2. Kneel down and place your feet flat on the floor.
3. Lift your lower extremity while inhaling and maintaining the same angle of your bent knee throughout the exercise. It's important to note that the lifting action takes place at your hip joint.
4. Try not to allow your trunk position to wobble, waver, shift, or vary in any way as you elevate the lower extremity. It's all in the abs, as the saying goes.
5. Exhale and return your foot to the ground. Make sure your trunk remains motionless once more. Also, keep the lower leg to thigh angle in mind.

3. Let your legs both come forward so they are straightened and a couple of inches off of the ground.
4. Return them to the starting position and repeat for repetitions.
