Leg Lift
A core-strengthening exercise that targets the lower abdominals and hip flexors.
Instructions
- Lie on your back with your legs straight and together.
- Keep your legs straight and lift them to the ceiling until your butt comes off the floor.
- Slowly lower your legs back down till they’re just above the floor. Hold for a moment.
- Raise your legs back up. Repeat for the specified number of repetitions.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Arching the back too much which can cause strain.
- Letting the legs drop too quickly instead of controlling the movement.
- Not keeping the legs straight, which reduces effectiveness.
