Açıklama
Alternate Leg Raises is a lower abdominal exercise performed by lifting legs alternately. This movement specifically targets the lower rectus abdominis and hip flexors. Due to its alternating structure, it applies continuous tension to the abdominal muscles and increases muscular endurance. It places less load on the lower back compared to the version where both legs are lifted simultaneously. It is a safe and effective movement for both beginners and advanced athletes. It should definitely be included in training programs to develop core stability and strengthen the lower abdominal region.
