Flat Bench Leg Pull In
A core-focused exercise targeting the abdominals by pulling the legs in while seated on a flat bench.
Instructions
- Sit on the edge of a flat bench with your legs extended and your hands gripping the bench behind your hips.
- Lean back slightly and lift your legs off the floor.
- Pull your knees toward your chest by bending your hips and knees.
- Hold for a moment, then extend your legs back to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of reps.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Using momentum rather than engaging your core to pull your legs in.
- Not maintaining a slight lean back position, which decreases core engagement.
- Allowing your legs to drop too low, losing tension in the abdominals.
