Alternate leg raises effectively target the abdominal muscles, enhancing core stability and strength. The exercise involves raising one leg at a time while keeping the core engaged, providing a dynamic movement that helps tone the lower abs and improves overall core endurance.

How to do it

  1. Lie on your back with your arms by your sides and legs extended.
  2. Engage your core and lift both legs off the ground slightly.
  3. Raise one leg towards the ceiling while keeping the other leg extended parallel to the floor.
  4. Alternate the legs in a controlled motion, keeping the core tight throughout.
  5. Lower your legs slowly back down and repeat for desired reps.
