Day 27 – Hanging Leg Raise

Hanging Leg Raise – It does not look easy, and it is not. Keeping your leg off the ground while moving it outwards strains both your core and leg muscles.

Hanging Leg Raise

HOW TO…

  1. Get into a Lower Plank position.
  2. Now lift your right leg and move it outwards.
  3. Stabilize your position: (a) tighten your core, (b) keep your lift leg straight and just off the floor, and (c) keep your elbows under your shoulders.
  4. Hold for 3 seconds.
  5. Lower your right leg and move it back next to your left leg.
  6. Next, repeat with your left leg.

Progression: Perform a hanging leg raise on each side, holding the leg up for 10 seconds. Rest for 5 seconds and repeat two more times.

Variation: Too hard? Start with only lifting your leg, not moving it outwards.

Goal: Hanging leg raise on each side for 10 seconds without resting.

Challenge:
Hanging leg raise right leg.
Go to Forearm Plank.
Move into a High Plank.
Move back into a Forearm Plank.
Hanging leg raise left leg.
This is one set. Work your way up to repeat 10x.
