Knee raises on the machine (classic)

Begin by positioning yourself at the exercise machine. Your hands rest on the designated pads, while your arms form a sort of forearm support. You grasp the handles with your hands and maintain an upright upper body, keeping your gaze forward. It is important to ensure that your back is neither curved nor excessively arched. It should maintain contact with the pads. Your legs are almost fully extended, with a slight bend in the knees. Your feet are already suspended in the air, and your legs are close together.

Movement execution

You now initiate the leg raising exercise on the training apparatus by bending your legs and pulling them towards your chest. During this movement, your knees tend to move in the direction of your upper body. The motion should only be halted if you couldn't continue the exercise correctly. Keep your legs close together throughout. Then, lower your legs while inhaling. However, make sure not to place your feet on the ground.
