Leg Lifts With Cris-Cross Movement Guide

Leg lifts with criss-cross movement are a challenging variation of the traditional leg lift exercise. This exercise primarily targets your lower abdominal muscles, hip flexors, and glutes, but also engages your inner thighs and obliques. To perform this exercise, first lie down on your back with your legs straight and your arms at your sides. Lift your legs straight up toward the ceiling, keeping them together and your toes pointed. Next, slowly lower one leg toward the floor while simultaneously crossing the other leg over it. Then, raise your legs back up to the starting position and repeat on the opposite side. The criss-cross movement adds an extra level of resistance and requires greater stability, making this exercise both challenging and effective for toning and strengthening your core and lower body muscles.
