The assisted straight leg raise builds core strength and hip flexor power. It teaches proper form before moving to harder ab exercises.
1. Lie flat on your back with arms at your sides for support and grip something sturdy above your head. 2. Keep both legs straight and pressed together, engaging your core muscles before you start the assisted straight leg raise movement. 3. Slowly lift both legs up until they're perpendicular to the floor, using your arms for light assistance as needed. 4. Hold the top position briefly, then lower your legs back down with control during this assisted straight leg raise. 5. Stop just before your feet touch the ground and repeat for your target reps.
• Keep your lower back pressed against the floor throughout the entire assisted straight leg raise movement. • Use your arms only for light help - don't rely on them completely or you won't build strength. • Move slowly and controlled - rushing through assisted straight leg raise reps reduces the benefits. • Keep your legs perfectly straight and together to get the most out of each rep.
• Letting your lower back arch off the floor, which can cause pain and reduces the effectiveness of assisted straight leg raise. • Using too much arm assistance instead of letting your abs do the work during the assisted straight leg raise. • Dropping your legs too fast on the way down, missing half the exercise benefits.
