Technik-Tipps
One common mistake is swinging the legs or using momentum to lift the legs. This can lead to ineffective workout and potential injuries. Instead, you should aim for a controlled, steady movement. Raise your legs until your body makes a 90-degree angle, hold for a second, then lower them back down slowly.
To get the most out of the vertical leg raise, focus on engaging your core throughout the exercise. This means tightening your abdominal muscles as you lift your legs and maintaining that engagement as you lower them. This technique not only ensures a more effective workout, but also helps to protect your lower back.
