Technique
How to do the Lying Leg Raise
- Lie flat on your back with your legs extended and your arms at your sides, palms facing down firm on the floor.
- Engage your core muscles and press your lower back into the floor.
- Keeping your legs straight, lift them up towards the ceiling until they are perpendicular to the floor.
- Slowly lower your legs back to the starting position with control, stopping just before they touch the floor. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Getting it right
