Leg Pull-In

A simple movement to strengthen your abs with no equipment.

This floor-based core exercise targets your lower abs and teaches control through your entire range of motion.

Instructions

  1. Lie flat on your back with your legs extended and hands by your sides or underneath your hips for support.
  2. Bend your knees and draw them toward your chest while exhaling.
  3. Keep your calves parallel to the floor as you contract your abdominal muscles.
  4. Pause briefly at the top of the motion, then slowly extend your legs back to the starting position as you inhale.
  5. Focus on smooth, steady control — avoid letting your feet touch the floor between reps.
