How to perform Bodyweight Flat Leg Raise with proper form

Starting Position

1. Lie flat on your back on a mat.
2. Keep your legs straight and together, arms at your sides or under your lower back for support.
3. Engage your core muscles.

Execution

1. Lift: Slowly raise both legs towards the ceiling. Keep them straight and together.
2. Hold: Bring your legs to about a 45-degree angle. Maintain this position for a moment while keeping your core engaged.
3. Lower: Slowly lower your legs back towards the ground without letting them touch it. Stop just before the mat.
4. Repeat: Continue the motion for the desired duration.

Tips for Proper Form

• Keep your back flat against the mat to avoid arching.
• Control the movement, avoiding using momentum.
• Breathe steadily—inhale on the lift, exhale as you lower.
• Focus on maintaining tension in your core throughout the exercise.
