Guide to Leg Raises

  • Exercise for the lower abs
  • Lay down on your back with your arms next to your body, palms facing down
  • Keep your lower back pressed against the floor while lifting your legs, tilt your pelvis
  • Bend your knees a bit if the exercise is to heavy for you
  • Your feet should never touch the ground, it makes you lose contact with your abs
  • Perform the movement slowly and controlled, do not just drop your legs on the way back
  • You can tuck your palms underneath your butt to make the exercise easier

Seated Leg Curl

Dumbbell Pullovers

The side muscles of the back, your lats, attach to the humerus and are therefore responsible for pulling the arms down towards the body. This exercise is only about pulling down the arms in this way, which makes it a good lats exercise.

Single Arm Landmine Row

It is a fun variant of One-Arm Dumbbell Row, but you do it with a barbell instead of dumbbells. By varying how far from the grip you stand with your feet, the load will be moved between lats or traps, just like between Dumbbell Row and Meadow Rows.
