Abdominal Endurance Strengthening With Alternating Leg Raises

Description

Lie on your back with your legs extended and your back in a neutral position (slightly arched). Engage your abdominal belt by contracting your pelvic floor and transverse abdominis. Maintain a constant breath through your belly while you lift both legs up without bending them, keeping your back and pelvis still. Perform alternating leg flutters for the duration specified by your physical therapist.
