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.
