The lying leg raise on a flat bench targets the lower abdominal muscles. It is effective for building core strength, improving stability, and enhancing overall abdominal definition.

How to do it

  1. Lie flat on a bench, keeping your body aligned and hands gripping the sides for support.
  2. Extend your legs fully and keep them together, pointing toes away from the body.
  3. Engage your core and slowly lift your legs towards the ceiling while keeping them straight.
  4. Lower your legs back down slowly to the starting position, ensuring they don’t touch the bench.
  5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, maintaining controlled movements throughout.
