leg lifts

Core workout moves

Leg lifts are an exercise where you lie on your back and raise your legs while keeping them straight, typically lifting until they're perpendicular to the floor, then lowering them without touching the ground.

The movement targets abdominal muscles, particularly the lower abs: I do fifty leg lifts every morning.

Variations include hanging leg lifts performed from a pull-up bar.
