  2. With straight legs, lift your legs until they are pointing straight up.
  3. Lower your legs again, with control.

Commentary

Lying leg raises train your abs and your hip flexors. The exercise can be made easier by bending your knees slightly, and you can make it heavier by using ankle weights.
