Leg Raise Overview
The lying leg lift is a variant of the abdominal crunch. It's an exercise that isolates the abdominal muscles.
The lying leg lift is a flexion-based exercise that keeps the lower abdominal muscles in constant tension throughout the entire range of motion.
How to Do it
- For support, lay supine with your legs straightening and your hands under your low back.
- While keeping your legs straight, raise your legs towards your forehead and contract your abdominal muscles.
- When your abs have contracted fully, and your legs are slightly higher than the parallel, lower your legs slowly back to the original position.
- Complete the number of repetitions required.
Exercise Tips
- To improve your mind-muscle connection, exhale as if you are blowing out candles.
- You can choose to do more anti-extension or anti-rotation movements if your lower back bothers you.
- Avoid placing your hands behind your head, as this can cause strain to the neck.
