How to do the Floor Seated in Out Leg Raise
Begin by sitting on the floor with your legs extended in front of you.
Place your hands behind you with your fingers facing forward or slightly out to the sides for support.
Lean back slightly and elevate your upper body, creating a V-shape with your torso and thighs.
Engage your core and lift your legs a few inches off the ground, keeping them straight.
Now, press your legs outward, separating them without touching the floor.
Bring your legs back together without letting them touch the ground. This completes one repetition.
Continue this movement for the desired number of repetitions, ensuring that your core remains engaged throughout the exercise.
Maintain control during both the in and out phases of the leg movement to maximize engagement of the abdominals and hip flexors.
To increase the challenge, try not to allow your heels to touch the ground throughout the entire set.
Remember to keep your movements controlled and avoid using momentum to raise or separate your legs. Take adequate rest between sets and adjust the number of reps based on your fitness level.
