Technik-Tipps
Avoid swinging your legs or using momentum to lift them. Instead, raise your legs using controlled, steady movements. This ensures that your abdominal muscles are fully engaged during the exercise.
To get the most out of the exercise, aim for a full range of motion. This means raising your legs until they are at least parallel to the floor. However, do not push past your comfort level or try to force your legs higher than they can naturally go.
One common mistake is bending the knees during the exercise. For a straight leg raise, your legs should remain straight throughout.
