Exercise Description

The one leg lying cable knee raise builds core strength and targets your abs unilaterally. This move helps fix muscle imbalances while making your core more stable.

How To

1. Attach an ankle strap to a low cable pulley and lie on your back facing away from the machine. 2. Secure the strap around one ankle and hold onto something stable for support. 3. Start with your working leg straight and the other leg bent at 90 degrees for stability. 4. Pull your knee toward your chest using your abs, keeping your lower back pressed to the floor during the one leg lying cable knee raise. 5. Slowly lower your leg back to the starting position and repeat for all reps before switching legs.

Form Tips

• Keep constant tension on the cable throughout the entire range of motion during your one leg lying cable knee raise • Press your lower back into the floor to avoid arching and protect your spine • Move slowly and controlled - don't let the weight pull your leg back down • Keep your head and shoulders relaxed on the ground throughout the movement

Common Mistakes

• Using momentum instead of your abs to pull your knee up during the one leg lying cable knee raise • Letting your lower back arch off the ground, which can cause injury • Moving too fast and losing control of the weight on the way down
