Sliding Leg Curl on Floor with Towel

• With your arms placed at your sides and palms facing down, lift your hips off the ground by pushing through your heels, so that your body forms a straight line from your shoulders to your knees.
• Slowly slide your heels away from your body while keeping your hips elevated, extending your legs fully.

• Lower your hips back to the floor to complete one repetition and then repeat the exercise for the desired number of reps.

• Elevated Sliding Leg Curl: For this variation, you elevate your hips on a step or low bench before performing the sliding leg curls, which can increase the range of motion and intensity of the workout.
