Strengthen your six-pack muscles and target your lower abdominals with the lying leg raise.
- Begin lying on your back on a flat bench. Bend your arms, and grip the top of the bench. Your hands should grip the bench by your ears; keep your elbows in tight.
- With control, engage your core and lift your legs up toward the ceiling. Your hips should raise up and off the bench.
- Lower your legs back down to the starting position as slow as you can with control.
- This counts as one rep.
