Seated Leg Tucks
A core strengthening exercise targeting the lower abs by tucking the knees while seated.
Instructions
- Sit on the edge of a bench with your hands holding onto the sides for support.
- Lean back slightly and lift your legs off the ground, keeping them bent at a 90-degree angle.
- Bring your knees toward your chest while maintaining balance.
- Slowly extend your legs back to the starting position without letting your feet touch the ground.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Arching the back too much when lifting legs.
- Not controlling the movement, leading to momentum-based motion.
- Letting feet touch the ground between reps, which reduces the challenge.
