			| Straight-Leg Raise to the BackThese straight-leg raises help you strengthen the muscles in your
		buttocks and in the back of your thigh. Do 8 to 12 repetitions. Lie on your stomach, and lift your leg straight
		  behind you (toward the ceiling). Lift your toes about 6 in. (15 cm) off
		  the floor, hold for 5 seconds, then lower slowly.
