Leg Pull Front

  • Pro
  • Intermediate
  • Pilates

Leg pull front holds a strong plank on your hands while you lift one leg at a time without letting your hips shift or rotate. It works the abs, glutes and front delts together as a controlled balance move. This Pilates flow suits intermediate training as a warmup, cooldown or recovery piece.

How to

  1. Start in a strong plank on your hands.
  2. Lift one leg up without shifting your hips.
  3. Point your toes and hold briefly.
  4. Lower and alternate legs with control.

Form cues

  • Keep your shoulders stacked directly over your wrists.
  • Brace your core so your back stays flat.
  • Exhale as you lift, inhale as you lower.

Common mistakes

  • Hips twist as the leg lifts up. Square your hips and lift straight back.
  • Shoulders sink and the chest drops. Push the floor away to protect your shoulders.
  • Leg swings up fast without control. Raise and lower the leg at an even pace.
