Instructions
1. Select a sturdy chair without wheels and place it on a non-slip surface.
2. Sit on the edge of the chair and grip the front edges with both hands for stability.
3. Lean back slightly, keeping your back straight and chest lifted to engage your core muscles.
4. With your knees bent, lift your feet off the floor.
5. Straighten your legs out in front of you, bringing them to a horizontal position, or as close to it as your flexibility allows.
6. Hold your legs in the raised position, ensuring that you maintain a straight back and engaged core.
7. Keep your legs as still as possible during the hold.
8. Hold this position for as long as possible, aiming for intervals such as 10 seconds to start with and increasing the time as you get stronger.
9. After completing the hold, carefully lower your feet back to the floor.
10. Rest briefly, then repeat the hold for your desired number of repetitions.
It's important to perform the exercise with proper form to prevent strain on your lower back. Keep your movements controlled, and do not swing your legs or use momentum.
