This exercise is a classic workout for the so-called "lower abs". As always we would like to specify that the rectus abdominis muscle is a unique and wide muscle, but has areas that can be stimulated and strengthened through targeted exercises.
The case of the abdominals with elevation of the legs in 4 strokes is one example: thanks to the alternating elevation and lowering of the legs, the lower abdomen will be stimulated more effectively.
How to do it
- 1In a supine position, keep your legs slightly raised off the ground
- 2Lift one leg forming a right angle with the abdomen. Subsequently, raise the other leg bringing it in parallel.
- 3Lower the raised leg first keeping the abdomen contract. Perform the same movement with the other leg and return to starting position.
⚠️ Common mistakes
- Place the heel on the ground at the end of the movement.
Now you know how it is done. In the app it joins the other exercises and becomes a multi-week plan.
