Roman Chair Leg Raises

Technique

How to perform Roman Chair Leg Raises

Position your forearms on the chair pads, grip the handles and rest your upper back against the back pad.
Let your legs hang below you with your knees straight and your trunk controlled.
Raise your legs in front of you without swinging them or rocking your shoulders.
As the legs rise, curl your pelvis upward so your hips lift slightly away from the lower part of the back pad.
Pause briefly while maintaining forearm support and straight knees.
Uncurl your pelvis and lower your legs under control to the hanging starting position.
