With legs up

This exercise is one of the most classic to work the lower abs. If you go to a gym , you will have seen any athlete performing this exercise. If you do it correctly, the fact of practicing with your legs up you can be very useful.


Lie on the back, and place your hands under your buttocks. Curves gently lower back to avoid contraction of muscles. Raise your head off the floor throughout the exercise. Breathe expires at the beginning and make the move.

You must keep the legs semi-flexed throughout the exercise. One of the most common mistakes is to fully extend the legs. This unnecessarily stresses the lower area of the back.


The aim is to lift and bend your knees towards you, keeping your lower back curved a few centimeters. Hold the contracted position for several seconds, and then return to starting position. For this type of exercise is not the movement of the legs, what matters most, but the fact of raising the pelvis. You can make 2 to 3 sets of 15 to 20 repetitions, but not running.
