Lying Straight Leg Raises - Tone Building Lower Abs ( Abdominals ) Exercise for Six Pack Abs

Technique - Start by sitting down on the floor in an area that will provide enough space to perform the exercise. Lay back onto the floor and place your arms out in a diagonal position with your palms flat to the floor. Extend your legs out straight in front of your with the balls of your feet touching the floor. Start the exercise by raising the balls of your feet from the floor. Exhale as you raise your legs directly upwards keeping them straight until they are in a vertical position. Squeeze your lower abs muscles inwards and hold the position for a count of 1. Inhale as you lower your legs back down in a slow, controlled manner whilst maintaining your balance. Do not allow the balls of your feet or allow any longer than a 1 count before starting the next rep as this will maintain pressure on the lower abs muscles and increase the overall benefits of the exercise.
