Leg Raise Seated (alternating)

The leg raise seated (alternating) workout is a bodyweight exercise that primarily targets the abs and quads.

By lifting one leg at a time while seated, the bodyweight is used to engage and strengthen the core muscles.

This exercise is effective in building abdominal strength and stability, as well as developing strong quadriceps.

While the leg raise seated workout may also engage other muscles, its main focus is on the abs and quads.

Engage your core muscles by sitting up tall and straight, with your back firmly against the backrest of the chair. Imagine a string pulling you up from the top of your head, lengthening your spine and activating your abs.
Place your hands on the sides of the chair, gripping it firmly for stability. This will help you maintain balance and control throughout the exercise.
Start by lifting one leg off the ground, extending it forward until it is parallel to the floor. Keep your leg straight and engage your quadriceps, feeling the tension in your thigh muscles as you hold the position briefly.
Lower your leg back down slowly and with control, focusing on the contraction of your abs and quads as you return to the starting position. Avoid swinging or using momentum to lift your leg, as this diminishes the effectiveness of the exercise.
Alternate between legs, lifting one leg at a time, and repeat the exercise for the desired number of repetitions. Remember to breathe steadily throughout the movement, inhaling as you lift your leg and exhaling as you lower it back down.
