Leg Raises - Tone Your Lower Midsection
I'm sure you might have heard or even tried leg raises before. It is a workout aimed to tone and strengthen your lower abdominals.
A friend of mine said that this was a boring exercise. Do you think the same way? Then check out how to make this workout tougher.
Let's Get Down To It!
- Lie flat on a mat with your hands placed on your sides.
- Keeping your legs straight, raise your legs up at an angle to the floor.
- Hold this position for 10 seconds before lowering them back to starting position.
- Repeat this process 8 more times.
Keep An Eye Out For The Following...
- Make sure you use your abdominal muscles.
Do not lift your head during the exercise as it can cause strains in the neck.
- Do not hold your breath.
Keep your breathing normal during the entire workout.
Little Tips To Make Things Challenging
- Raise your legs a little lower.
When you do this, you are actually increasing the difficulty of the workout. The amount of intensity you want to experience is entirely up to you!
- Use some weights on your legs.
You can even use a stability ball. Clamp the ball with your legs and do the exercise itself. I tried this exercise and grunted throughout the whole 8 repetitions!
