Pro Tip
Controlled Movements: Avoid rushing through the exercise or using momentum to lift your legs. This can lead to injury and won't effectively target your abdominal muscles. Instead, focus on slow, controlled movements. Lift your legs until your knees are at a 90-degree angle, hold for a moment, then slowly lower them back down. Engage Your Core: Remember, this exercise is meant to target your core, particularly your lower abs. Make sure you're actively engaging these muscles as you lift and lower your legs. A common mistake is to rely too much on your leg strength, which can lead to less effective results and
