Captains Chair Straight Leg Raise

Expert Advice

Keep your movements controlled and avoid using momentum to swing your legs up, which can reduce the effectiveness of the exercise.

How-to-do Steps

  1. Position yourself in the captain's chair with your back against the pad and your forearms on the armrests.
  2. Grip the handles and let your legs hang straight down.
  3. Keeping your legs straight, raise them in front of you to form a 90-degree angle with your torso.
  4. Slowly lower your legs back to the starting position without swinging.
  5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
