Lying Simultaneous Alternating Straight Leg Raise
On the back, scissor the straight legs past each other: one rises to vertical as the other lowers to hover, a far bigger range than flutter kicks.
How to do it
Setup
On the back, arms by the sides, one straight leg up and the other hovering over the floor.
Steps
- Lower the top leg as the bottom one rises, both at once.
- Pass the legs near vertical without bending the knees.
- Keep scissoring with the lower back pressed down.
Common mistakes
Legs taking turns instead of crossing: they move at the same moment. Lower leg touching down: it hovers just off the floor. Knees bending to speed up: keep the legs long and the pace even.
Breathing
Exhale on each switch, steady in between.
