The Assisted Lying Leg Raise With Throw Down exercise is a core strengthening exercise that targets the lower abdominal muscles and hip flexors. This exercise requires a stability ball and a partner to assist with the leg raise and throw down movement.
How to perform
To perform the Assisted Lying Leg Raise With Throw Down exercise, follow these step-by-step instructions:1. Lie on your back on the floor with your legs extended and your hands placed under your glutes for support. Your partner should stand at your feet holding the stability ball.
2. Engage your core muscles and lift your legs up towards the ceiling, keeping them straight and together. Your partner should hand you the stability ball, which you should grasp between your feet.
3. Once you have the stability ball in between your feet, lower your legs back down towards the floor in a controlled manner, keeping your core engaged the entire time.
4. As you lower your legs, your partner should gently push the stability ball down towards the floor, adding resistance to the movement.
5. Stop just before your feet touch the floor, then lift your legs back up towards the ceiling, passing the stability ball back to your partner.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, making sure to keep your core engaged and your movements controlled throughout the exercise.
This exercise can be modified by adjusting the weight of the stability ball or the intensity of the resistance provided by your partner. It is important to communicate with your partner throughout the exercise to ensure proper form and technique.
