Lying Leg Raise

The lying leg raise is an effective exercise for targeting the lower abdominal muscles. Here’s how to do it:

1. Lie flat on your back on a mat with your legs straight and your arms by your sides.
2. Keep your lower back pressed into the mat and your core engaged.
3. Slowly raise your legs towards the ceiling, keeping them straight.
4. Continue lifting until your legs are perpendicular to the floor or as high as you can go without lifting your lower back off the mat.
5. Pause briefly at the top, then slowly lower your legs back to the starting position without letting them touch the floor.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
