Chair Seated In-Out Leg Raise

Sitting In-Out Leg Raise with Chair

Positioning:
1. Start by sitting on the edge of a sturdy chair. Make sure your feet are flat on the ground and your knees are in line with your hips.
2. Position your hands on the edge of the chair, fingers facing forward or sideways for better grip.
3. Lean slightly back, keeping your back straight and core engaged.

Movement:
1. Inhale: Lift your legs off the ground, keeping them bent at the knees. Your shins should be parallel to the ground.
2. Exhale: Extend your legs forward while simultaneously leaning slightly back. Your body will form a slight V shape, with your legs outstretched.
3. Hold this position for a moment while squeezing your abdominal muscles.
4. Inhale: Return to the starting position by bending your knees again and bringing your legs back to parallel with the ground.
5. Repeat: Continue to alternate between the bent knee and extended positions for the desired number of repetitions.

Tips:
- Keep your core tight throughout the exercise to support your lower back.
- Avoid using momentum; focus on controlled movements.
- Start with a moderate number of repetitions, such as 8-12, and gradually increase as you become stronger.
