Exercise Description

The straight leg raise hold builds serious core strength and endurance. It targets your abs while teaching them to work under tension for longer periods.

How To

1. Lie flat on your back with arms at your sides and legs straight 2. Engage your core and lift both legs up to 90 degrees, keeping them completely straight 3. Hold this straight leg raise hold position without letting your legs drop or bend 4. Keep breathing normally while maintaining the straight leg raise hold - don't hold your breath 5. Lower legs slowly back to starting position when your hold time is complete

Form Tips

• Keep your lower back pressed against the floor throughout the entire straight leg raise hold • Focus on squeezing your abs tight rather than just holding your legs up • Don't let your legs drift apart - keep them together and straight • Start with shorter holds and gradually increase time as you get stronger

Common Mistakes

• Letting your lower back arch off the floor during the straight leg raise hold • Bending your knees to make the hold easier - this reduces the effectiveness • Holding your breath instead of breathing normally throughout the movement
