It combines two movements: a crunch (bringing your upper body towards your knees) and leg abduction (lifting your legs out to the sides).

This works your stomach muscles and also uses your hip and leg muscles, making it a full-body exercise.

It's good for all fitness levels, from beginners to advanced exercisers.

Doing this exercise can help you get a flatter stomach and better balance.

It's useful in many types of workouts, including strength training, core workouts, and exercises that help you move better in everyday life.

To do the exercise, lie on your back, knees bent, and feet flat on the floor. Then, lift your legs slightly out to the sides as you bring your upper body up towards your knees. Slowly lower back down.

Better Hip Stability: It strengthens the muscles around your hips, helping you balance and move better.

More Flexible Hips and Legs: The exercise stretches your hips and legs, letting you move them more easily.

Improved Posture and Less Back Pain: Stronger core muscles from this exercise can help you stand and sit straighter, reducing backaches.

Helpful for Everyday Life: The movements in this exercise are similar to things you do every day, making it practical and useful.

How to Do It: Lie on your back with your knees bent. Slowly lift your head and shoulders off the ground while also lifting your legs out to the sides. Lower slowly and repeat.

Take a breath in. As you do, tighten your tummy muscles and lift your shoulders a little off the mat. Don't lift your whole back, just your shoulders.

Breathe out. As you breathe out, slowly push your legs out to the sides. Think of opening your legs like a butterfly. Keep your shoulders lifted.

Hold this position for a short time. Feel the work in your tummy and leg muscles.

Breathe in again. Slowly lower your shoulders and legs back to the starting position.

Repeat steps 2-5 as many times as you planned.

Important tip: Keep your tummy muscles tight the whole time to make the exercise work better and to protect your back.

Lying Leg Abduction: This exercise strengthens the muscles on the outside of your hips (hip abductors). It's mainly about leg strength and balance, not so much core work. It's good if you want stronger legs without focusing on your stomach muscles.

Lever Lying Crunch: This uses a machine to make crunches harder. It's all about building strong stomach muscles. This is a good choice if you want a more intense core workout.

Cable Hip Abduction: This exercise uses a cable machine to strengthen your hip abductors. The cable lets you control how hard you work your muscles, helping to build strong hips for better balance.

Each of these exercises focuses on different parts of your body, either your core (stomach muscles), your legs, or your hip muscles. Try them all to see which ones you like best and which help you reach your fitness goals.

Lying Leg Abduction: This exercise strengthens the muscles on the outside of your hips and thighs (hip abductors). Lie on your side, and lift your top leg. This helps with leg strength and balance. It's a great way to isolate those muscles.

Lying Hip Circles: Lie on your back and make circles with your legs. This works the muscles around your hips (hip flexors) and your core. It improves flexibility and stability in your hips. It's good for overall hip health.

Leg Raises with Hip Lift: This exercise strengthens your lower abs and hip flexors. Lie on your back, lift your legs, and then lift your hips off the ground. This builds core strength and improves your balance. It's a more challenging core exercise.

These exercises all work similar muscles to the Lying Crunch Through Legs Abduction, but they use different movements. Try them out and see which ones you like best!

Keep your lower back flat: Your lower back should stay on the floor the whole time. If it arches, you're not using your abs properly and you could hurt your back. Concentrate on tightening your stomach muscles.

Don't pull on your head: Avoid pulling your head up with your hands. This can strain your neck. Keep your head in a neutral position – looking straight up – and lift your shoulders using your core muscles.

It works your core muscles, which are important for everyday activities and preventing back pain. These muscles help you bend, twist, and lift things safely.

This exercise also improves stability. Stability means being able to keep your body steady and controlled, which is helpful for sports and preventing injuries.

Doing the exercise correctly is key. Focus on slow, controlled movements to get the most out of it and avoid hurting yourself.

Start slowly and gently. Don't try to do too many repetitions at first. As you get stronger, you can increase the number of times you do the exercise.

Make this exercise part of your regular workout. Combining it with other exercises will give you a well-rounded fitness routine.

Remember to listen to your body. If you feel any pain, stop and rest. It's better to be safe than sorry!
