Rig Leg Raise Tips

  2. Engage your core muscles by pulling your belly button towards your spine.
  3. Keep your legs straight and raise them up towards the ceiling, using your abs to control the movement.
  4. Avoid swinging or using momentum to lift your legs, as this reduces the effectiveness of the exercise.
