Mostly associated with dance-centric movies of the 1980s, leg lifts are also a shortcut to killer abs.
You Will Need
- A mat or some clean floor space
- Leg warmers
Step 1: Lie on back
Lie down flat on your back on the floor.
Step 2: Place hands behind you
Place your hands behind you, just above your glutes for support.
Step 3: Lift legs off ground
Lift your straightened legs off the ground about 6 to 8 inches.
Step 4: Return to original position
Return them slowly down to the original position—but do not rest them on the ground.
Step 5: Repeat
Repeat, holding at both the top and the bottom for a few seconds.
You can do this with both legs or one leg at a time.
Step 6: Don't overdo it
Don’t overdo it. Work up to 15 or 20 reps over the course of a few weeks. Then add multiple sets.
Bill Kathan broke the world record for leg lifts in July 2002, when he did 24,630 in six hours.
