Technique

How to perform Seated Pike Leg Lift

1. Sit on the floor with both legs straight and together in front of you.
2. Place your hands beside your thighs, keep the elbows straight and incline your torso slightly forward.
3. Keep the knees straight as you lift both feet off the floor together by drawing the legs toward your torso.
4. Lower the legs under control and repeat the small lifts without rocking backward or repeatedly raising your torso.
5. Keep the hands supporting the same position; moving them farther forward increases the compression challenge.
6. Finish by lowering the legs to the floor under control.
