Seated Leg Raise
Seated on the end of a bench, hands gripping it behind the hips, the knees draw in to the chest and the legs extend out low.
How to do it
Setup
Seated on the end of a flat bench, leaning back a little, hands gripping its sides, legs extended forward.
Steps
- Draw the knees in toward the chest.
- Extend the legs out low without touching the floor.
- Keep the chest up and the hands firm on the bench.
Common mistakes
Rocking the trunk back and forth: move the legs, not the chest. Feet touching down between reps: keep them hovering. Short tucks: bring the knees all the way in.
Breathing
Exhale drawing the knees in, inhale extending.
