How to perform Bodyweight Flat Leg Raise with proper form
Starting Position
- Lie flat on your back on a mat.
- Keep your legs straight and together, arms at your sides or under your lower back for support.
- Engage your core muscles.
Execution
- Lift: Slowly raise both legs towards the ceiling. Keep them straight and together.
- Hold: Bring your legs to about a 45-degree angle. Maintain this position for a moment while keeping your core engaged.
- Lower: Slowly lower your legs back towards the ground without letting them touch it. Stop just before the mat.
- 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.
