CORE: "Elevated Leg Curl Up"


Directions: Perform Dynamic Warm-Up exercises at “beginning” of workout
for maximum benefit and improvement.
Pick a safe level; never be unsafe or exceed your capacity to “control” your body!

Elevated Leg Curl Up-1
Elevated Leg Curl Up-2

  1. From supine "chair" position stretch arms straight out and up.

  2. Slowly "curl up" body towards toes.

  3. With control, slowly return body to floor.

Exercise Figure Tips: This one is a bit easier than the Straight Leg Curl Up.  Elevating and bending the legs will take some compressive force off your spine too.

  • Common mistakes are "throwing" yourself up and then "dropping" back down.  Do them slowly with control or don't do them at all!  This one is closely related to the more difficult 'V' Up that Jack LaLanne made famous--keep working on this one and maybe you'll catch up with Jack someday!

*Note: This exercise is intended for "normal healthy" individuals.  If you have an injury, or abnormal pain is present,
see your physician or a certified physical therapist before continuing your exercises.
