Seated Bench Leg Pull-in
The Seated Bench Leg Pull-In is a variation of the leg pull exercise that targets the abs, specifically the lower abs. It is performed while seated on a bench or chair. By incorporating this exercise into your routine, you specifically target the lower abs for better muscle definition.
How to do:
- Start by sitting on a flat bench with your legs extended straight out in front of you.
- Place your hands on the sides of the bench for support and stability.
- Lift your legs off the ground, keeping them together and parallel to the floor.
- Maintain this position while keeping your core tight and your balance steady.
- From here, initiate the movement by bending your knees and pulling them towards your chest.
- At the top of the movement, aim to bring your knees as close to your chest as possible.
- Hold the contraction for a moment, focusing on squeezing your lower abs.
- Slowly extend your legs back to the starting position, maintaining control throughout the movement.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
