Lying Bench Leg Raise Exercise Video

Exercise Instructions:

The lying bench leg raise hits your lower abdominal muscles. Set up for the exercise by getting a flat bench and positioning it to give enough room of your legs to extend out one end. Sit on the bench with your buttocks close to one end, the lay back. Grasp the bench at head height for stability. Extend your legs straight out level with your body, keep your knees and feet together. This is the starting position for the movement. Bending at the hips only, slowly raise your legs up until they are pointing straight up. Do not pause, immediately start slowly lowering your legs back to the starting position. Repeat for desired reps.

Tips & Advice:

Do not swing your legs, use your abs to move your legs not momentum. Keep your legs and knees together, don't let your feet drop below the height of the bench.
