The Twisted Leg Raise exercise is a variation of the traditional leg raise exercise that targets the abdominal muscles and obliques.
How to perform
Step by step instructions for the Twisted Leg Raise exercise:1. Lie flat on your back on an exercise mat or floor with your arms extended straight out to the sides for support.
2. Keeping your legs straight, slowly lift them up towards the ceiling as high as you can while keeping your lower back pressed into the mat.
3. As you lift your legs, twist your torso to one side so that one leg crosses over the other.
4. Lower your legs back down to the starting position.
5. Repeat the exercise, this time twisting your torso to the other side as you lift your legs.
6. Continue alternating sides for the desired number of repetitions.
To make this exercise more challenging, you can hold a light dumbbell in your hands as you perform the leg raises. Make sure to maintain control and engage your core muscles throughout the movement.
