Leg Raises Cues:
- Start exercise in a supine position (lying down on your back): legs outstretched, core engaged, pelvic tilt your back flat to the floor, and arms outstretched by your sides (or lift you shoulders off the ground and support your head by resting your hands behind your ears).
- Lift both legs of the ground and point your toes to the sky.
- Return to start position in a controlled movement while keeping your back flat to the floor for one rep. (Keep the movement to a degree you are able to maintain a tight core throughout the exercise)
Ideas for Exercise Uses:
- Perform as a dynamic stability exercise during a core workout to strengthen your lower abdominal muscles.
- Add as a daily strength training exercise to your post workout routine to strengthen your core.
- Use as a modified exercise to other crunches while you learn how to keep your core engaged with movement.
