The seated leg raise is an effective exercise for targeting the lower abdominal muscles. By lifting the legs while seated, it engages the core, improving strength and stability in the abdominal area.

How to do it

  1. Sit on the edge of a bench with your legs extended in front.
  2. Place your hands on the bench beside your hips for support.
  3. Keeping your core engaged, lift your legs upward by bending your knees.
  4. Pause at the top, then slowly lower your legs back to the starting position.
  5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
