Fitness Friday

Every Friday I will be posing an exercise that I do with info on how to do the move and what muscles you will be working with it!  Enjoy!

Exercise: Leg Raises

Muscle Worked: Abdominal

1.   Lie down so your back and hips are acting as a base and touching the ground.

2.   In the above position, Place your hands under your glutes with your palms facing down.

3.   Now, contract your belly by pulling your belly button towards your spine, in the mean while raise your legs until they are perpendicular to the floor, as you exhale.

4.   Pause for a second in this position and Feel the stretching in your abdominal muscles.

5.   Slowly, Return back to the starting position, as you inhale.

6.   I do 4 sets of 25 reps, but start with what you are comfortable with and work your way up!
