Lying Weighted Leg Raise

Lie flat on your back on the floor, holding ankle weights securely around your ankles and keeping your arms flat on the floor for stability.

Engage your core to press your lower back firmly into the floor.

Keep your legs straight and slowly raise them upward toward the ceiling until they are perpendicular to the floor.

Pause briefly at the top, then slowly lower your legs back down with control without touching the floor.
