Seated Leg Raise

Rating: (0 Ratings)

This highly-efficient exercise works the entire abdominal region. You can even do it while sitting at your desk at work.

Sit with your back straight against the back of your chair and press your fists on both sides of your butt. Raise your legs with your knees bent, until your knees are level with your chest. Hold the position for two seconds, then unbend your knees, straightening them as much as you can and hold for another two seconds. Bend your knees and slowly bring your legs back to the initial position.

Do 2 sets of 10 reps.

Not impossible, but indeed hard, which makes it a challenge!! No point to give up before trying harder!

I found it easier to do if your back is angled to the chair instead of just sitting up straight, just try to keep your back as straight as you can when you lift your knees. I think doing it that way also helps work your abs because mine are burning :D
