How do you perform Leg Raises Alternate?
- Lie on your back with your hands next to your body.
- Raise your legs until they point straight up.
- Lower one leg to just above the floor while keeping the other leg up.
- Then bring your leg back up.
- Then repeat the movement with the other leg.
- Keep your abs engaged and inhale as you raise your legs and exhale as you lower them.
- Make sure your lower back stays flat on the floor throughout the exercise.
- If the exercise is too difficult or if you have some problems in the lower back, you can put your hands under your buttocks for support.
Common faults
- Do not keep your lower back against the floor during the movement.
- Don’t extend your legs all the way.
- No control over the movement.
- Pace too fast or too slow.
