### Leg Raises 

**Step 1: **Lie face up on a mat, and raise your upper legs until they’re perpendicular to the floor. Bend your knees slightly

**Step 2: **Without changing the arch in your lower back or the angle of your knees, brace your core and try to take 3 to 5 seconds to lower your feet as close to the floor as you can

**Step 3:** Complete 3-4 sets of 10-20 reps
