Exercise Profile

Leg Raises Open And Close Overview

The Leg Raises Open and Close workout is a bodyweight exercise that primarily targets the abdominal muscles.

By lifting the legs up and down, the bodyweight creates resistance, engaging the abs to stabilize and control the movement.

This workout effectively isolates the abs, avoiding excessive strain on auxiliary muscles such as the hip flexors.

With proper form and control, the Leg Raises Open and Close workout can help strengthen and tone the abdominal muscles.

Leg Raises Open And Close Instructions

  1. Begin by lying flat on your back on a mat or the floor.
  2. Extend your legs straight out in front of you, keeping them close together.
  3. Place your hands palms down on the floor next to your body, slightly tucked under your glutes.
  4. Engage your core by pulling your belly button in towards your spine.
  5. Keeping your legs straight and together, slowly lift them up towards the ceiling until they are perpendicular to the floor.
  6. Pause briefly at the top, then slowly lower your legs back down to the starting position.
  7. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.

Leg Raises Open And Close Tips

  1. Start by lying flat on your back with your arms extended by your sides and your legs straight out in front of you. This is your starting position.
  2. Engage your core by drawing your belly button in towards your spine. This will help you maintain stability throughout the exercise and target your abs effectively.
  3. Slowly lift both legs off the ground, keeping them straight, until they are perpendicular to the floor. This is the top position of the leg raise.
  4. From the top position, begin to lower your legs back down towards the ground, keeping them straight and controlled. Focus on using your abs to control the movement rather than relying on momentum.
  5. As you lower your legs, stop just before they touch the ground and then raise them back up to the top position. This will help you maintain tension in your abs and maximize the effectiveness of the exercise.
