Vertical Leg Raise

The vertical leg raise can be performed with the legs straight or knees bent as desired.

Muscles Worked

The main muscles involved in the vertical leg raise are:

• Abs (stomach)

Other muscles involved are:

• Hips
• Obliques (sides}

Vertical Leg Raise Technique

• Position back against rest, weight on forearms
• Legs hanging straight down
• Bending at hips, raise legs straight to horizontal
• Lower steadily to starting position

Vertical Leg Raise Notes

• If straight leg raise is too difficult, raise thighs while bending at knees
• Keep movement smooth
• Remember to breathe. Whether you breathe in or out at a certain point is less important than making sure you are actually breathing during the exercise.
