How To

1. Lie flat on your back with arms at your sides for support and legs straight 2. Keep your lower back pressed against the floor throughout the lying alternate floor leg raise 3. Slowly lift your right leg up to about 45 degrees while keeping it straight 4. Lower your right leg back down slowly then repeat with your left leg 5. Continue alternating legs for the lying alternate floor leg raise movement

Form Tips

Common Mistakes
