Decline Straight Leg Raises Technique Instructions

Decline Straight Leg Raises
Technique - Start by laying down on the decline abs bench back to front with your back to the leg supports. Slide yourself down the bench until your back is straight. Reach behind you to grip the leg supports. Extend your legs out straight in front of you and start the exercise by raising your feet from the floor. Exhale as you raise your legs upwards in a controlled manner keeping them straight and solid at all times. Raise them as far as possible until you feel your lower abs muscles contract. Hold the position for a count of 1. Inhale as you lower your back down in a slow, controlled manner again keeping them straight and solid at all times. Do not allow your feet to touch the floor between reps as this will maintain pressure on the lower abs muscles and increase the overall benefits of the exercise. Repeat this technique for the desired number of reps.
