Description

A core exercise that targets your lower abs and obliques. The twisting motion also helps to engage and strengthen your core.

How to Do Twisted Leg Raise

1
Setup
Lie flat on your back on a mat with your legs extended straight and your hands placed palms down under your glutes for support, or by your sides.
2
Setup
Engage your core to press your lower back firmly into the mat, ensuring there is no arch.
3
Exhale as you slowly raise both legs together towards the ceiling, keeping them as straight as possible until your hips slightly lift off the floor.
4
At the top of the movement, twist your hips and legs to one side, aiming to bring your feet towards the opposite shoulder.
5
Inhale as you slowly lower your legs back down with control, untwisting as you descend, stopping just before they touch the floor to maintain tension.
6
Immediately repeat the movement, twisting to the opposite side on the next repetition.

Tips

Maintain a slow and controlled tempo throughout the exercise, especially during the eccentric (lowering) phase, to maximize muscle engagement.
Focus on initiating the movement from your lower abdominal muscles and obliques, rather than relying on hip flexors or momentum.
Keep your lower back pressed against the mat at all times; if it arches, reduce the range of motion or bend your knees slightly.
Breathe out as you lift your legs and twist, and breathe in as you slowly lower them, helping to brace your core.

Common Mistakes

×Arching the lower back during the leg raise can strain the spine; fix this by actively pressing your lower back into the mat and engaging your core.
×Using momentum to swing the legs up reduces core engagement; instead, perform the movement slowly and deliberately, focusing on muscle contraction.
×Failing to fully twist the hips and legs limits oblique activation; ensure a distinct rotation at the top of the movement, aiming to bring feet towards the opposite shoulder.
