Floor Seated Leg Raise

Sculpt your core with Floor Seated Leg Raises! A simple, effective exercise you can do anywhere to strengthen your abs.

Instructions

  1. Starting Position:

    • Sit on the floor with your legs extended straight in front of you.

    • Place your hands behind you on the floor, fingers pointing towards your feet.

    • Keep your back straight and your core engaged.

  2. Leg Positioning:

    • Keep your legs together and straight.

    • Your feet should be elevated slightly off the ground to engage your core.

  3. Movement:

    • While keeping your legs straight, lift them off the floor slowly to a 45-degree angle.

    • Hold this position for a moment to feel the engagement in your core.

  4. Return:

    • Slowly lower your legs back down toward the floor without letting them touch it.

    • Repeat the leg lift for the desired number of repetitions.

  5. Breathing:

    • Exhale as you lift your legs and inhale as you lower them.

  6. Tips:

    • Ensure your core is engaged throughout the movement to maintain stability.

    • If you find it challenging, you can start with your knees bent and gradually progress to straight legs.

    • Maintain good posture to avoid straining your back.
