Instructions:
- 1Sit on a sturdy, padded stool, support your upper body with your arms and hold onto the edges of the stool
- 2Extend your legs and hold them together straight out in front of you
- 3Raise your legs as high as you can while keeping them straight
- 4Lower your legs to the initial position, without touching the floor
Tips:
- Remember to keep your abs tight and your back straight throughout
- Breathe out as you lift your legs and breathe in as you lower them
- Try not to use your arms for momentum, all of the effort should come from your abdomen and hip muscles
- Make sure to perform this exercise slowly and controlled to fully engage your muscles and avoid straining your lower back
