Workout & fitness instruction with CEO and founder Ann Barnes.

Leg Lifts are a super simple yet highly effective exercise for beginners looking to strengthen their abs and core.

Start by lying flat on your back with your legs extended and your arms resting at your sides, palms facing down. Gently engage your core by pressing your lower back into the floor. This helps protect your spine and activates your abdominal muscles. Keep your legs straight or slightly bent if needed for comfort.

Slowly lift both legs together toward the ceiling until they are about 90 degrees from the floor. Keep your movements controlled and avoid using momentum. Pause briefly at the top, then slowly lower your legs back down without letting them touch the floor if possible.

Breathe steadily throughout the movement, exhaling as you lift your legs and inhaling as you lower them. Start with 8 to 12 repetitions. Focus on control, proper breathing, and maintaining core engagement for the best results.
