Perfect Leg Raises Technique
Leg raises are one of the most effective exercises for targeting the lower abdominal muscles and building core strength. This movement challenges your ability to control hip flexion while maintaining spinal stability. ChAIron's AI coaching ensures proper form and maximum abdominal engagement throughout the movement.
Step-by-Step Form Guide
- Starting Position: Lie flat on your back with arms at sides for stability, legs extended straight
- Core Engagement: Press lower back into the ground and engage deep abdominal muscles
- Leg Lift: Slowly raise legs until they're perpendicular to the ground (90-degree angle)
- Controlled Lowering: Lower legs back down with control, stopping just before they touch ground
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Allowing lower back to arch off the ground
- Using momentum instead of controlled movement
- Bending knees excessively during the movement
- Dropping legs too quickly on the descent
- Holding breath instead of breathing rhythmically
