Performance
Tips
-
Raising the leg a few inches off the floor is harder than raising it higher.
Choose the height at which you can still maintain control over your abdominal
muscles. If you feel your lower back overarching or your belly "popping" out,
you need to modify the movement by raising the leg higher.
- Try
the following variation: · Lift the torso first, then the leg. Lower the torso,
then the leg.
Repetitions
Do ten to twelve repetitions per leg
.
