Twisted Leg Raise
In the captain's chair, the straight legs rise diagonally toward one side and lower, then toward the other.
How to do it
Setup
Forearms on the pads of the captain's chair, back against the rest, legs hanging straight.
Steps
- Raise both straight legs up and across toward one side.
- Lower them under control to hanging.
- Raise them toward the other side next rep.
Common mistakes
Swinging the legs up: lift them with the abs, no momentum. Back peeling off the pad: keep it pressed in. Letting the legs drop: lower slowly.
Breathing
Exhale on the raise, inhale lowering.
