Front Leg Raises
Also known as: leg swings forward, dynamic leg swing, front leg swing


Front Leg Raises is an exercise for the hamstrings. Main target: biceps femoris. No equipment needed — just your bodyweight.
How to do it
- Stand next to a chair or other support, holding on with one hand.
- Swing your leg forward, keeping the leg straight. Continue with a downward swing, bringing the leg as far back as your flexibility allows. Repeat 5-10 times, and then switch legs.
