Leg Raise Hold And Dips Tips

  1. Engage your core: Before starting the Leg raise hold and dips exercise, focus on engaging your abdominal muscles. Imagine pulling your belly button towards your spine, creating a strong and stable foundation for your body. This will not only help you maintain proper form but also intensify the activation of your abs throughout the movement.
  2. Mind your triceps: During dips, make sure to keep your elbows close to your body. This will target your triceps more effectively, allowing you to build strength and definition in this area. Avoid flaring your elbows outwards, as this can shift the emphasis away from your triceps and potentially strain your shoulders. Keep your focus on the triceps engagement to maximize the benefits of this exercise.
  3. Control your descent: When performing leg raises, it’s crucial to control the lowering phase.
