Straight Leg Raises Exercise Guide | Strengthen Core & Hip Flexors #3854578 (License: Personal Use)

This illustrated exercise demonstrates the straight leg raise-a foundational movement targeting the lower abdominal muscles, hip flexors, and quadriceps. The person lies supine with one knee bent (for pelvic stability) while extending and raising the opposite leg to about 45-60 degrees, engaging the core throughout. Proper form avoids arching the lower back and ensures controlled motion.

Used in physical therapy, home exercise programs, and fitness guides for low-impact strengthening; targets users seeking rehab after injury, postpartum recovery, or improved core endurance.
