Vertical Leg Raise

• Grip the handles firmly and let your body hang down, keeping your legs together and straight.
• Slowly raise your legs, keeping them straight, until they form a 90-degree angle with your torso.
• Hold this position for a few seconds to engage your core muscles.
• Gradually lower your legs back to the starting position, ensuring you maintain control and don't allow them to swing. Repeat the exercise as many times as your workout requires.

• Controlled Movement: Raise your legs until the body makes a 90-degree angle, then slowly lower them back down. Avoid swinging or using momentum to lift your legs, as this can lead to back strain or injury. The movement should be slow, controlled, and deliberate.
• Engage Your Core: The main focus of the vertical leg raise is the abdominal muscles. Ensure that you are engaging your core throughout the movement, not just lifting your legs. A common mistake is to use the hip flexors or momentum to lift the legs, rather than engaging the abs.
• Breathing Technique: Proper breathing is crucial for this exercise. Inhale as you
