By incorporating a mini loop band, this variation of leg raises intensifies the challenge on the abdominal muscles and hip flexors, making it an excellent isolation exercise for core strengthening. The added resistance from the band promotes muscle hypertrophy and endurance, surpassing the benefits of standard leg raises.
Lie your back flat on the floor with a band wrapped around your ankles, legs extended and your arms extended next to your torso with your hands next to your hips.
Keep your feet hip width apart as your raise your extended legs to a vertical position.
Control the movement back to the starting position.
