Exercise Description

The lying floor knee raise exercise targets your hip flexors and abs to build core strength. It's perfect for beginners who want to strengthen their lower abs without equipment.

How To

1. Lie flat on your back with arms at your sides and legs extended straight 2. Keep your lower back pressed against the floor and engage your core muscles 3. Slowly lift your knees toward your chest in the lying floor knee raise movement 4. Pause when your knees reach 90 degrees, then slowly lower your legs back down 5. Control the movement throughout the entire lying floor knee raise range of motion

Form Tips

• Keep your lower back flat against the floor during the entire lying floor knee raise • Move slowly and controlled - don't swing your legs up • Breathe out as you lift your knees, breathe in as you lower them • Start with bent knees if the lying floor knee raise feels too hard with straight legs

Common Mistakes

• Arching your lower back off the floor during the lying floor knee raise movement • Using momentum to swing your legs up instead of controlled muscle movement • Lowering your legs too fast or dropping them during the lying floor knee raise
