Exercise Performance

Perform the positive portion of the Bent Leg Raise, but instead of pausing at the top, straighten your legs out fully. They should be perfectly straight, and perpendicular to the floor, so that your legs and torso form a right angle. This is the finish position. You should exhale throughout this two-part motion. Lower your legs, keeping them perfectly straight until they are an inch or two off the floor. Inhale as your legs slowly descend. Repeat.
