Roman Chair Leg Raise

Exercise Instructions

  • Set yourself up in a Roman chair with your back against the back pad, forearms on the parallel bars to your sides, and holding onto the handles.
  • Your body should be vertical while holding yourself up.
  • With a slight bend in your knees, use your abs to lift your legs as high as you can.
  • Then slowly lower your legs back down, still keeping your abs tight as you lower your legs.
  • To make the exercise more challenging, you can lean your upper body as far forward as you can while performing the exercise.
  • Once you can easily complete 3 sets of 10 reps with good form, you can add weight by holding a dumbbell between your feet.
