If you’re out of condition or there’s the risk of hurting your back try single heel slides first rather than double. This will help support and stabilise your lower back rather than abruptly jerking both legs up at once and potentially pulling an abdominal muscle or spasmodically arching your back. It also can help isolate the muscles more.
Either way just make sure your abs are very slightly tensed and your tailbone is comfortably dropped down so your back is flat on the mat or the bed.
If the flat legs are hard, it’s tiring to tense or your lower back is twinging you can bend the non-working leg and put your foot flat on the bed for more stability.
Even if you don’t leave the house or get out of bed you can still do leg extensions with a resistance band for your butt and abs.
I’m probably not going to though -_-
Hahaha what butt or abs 😂 my resistance band is thrown somewhere in my car from when I used to go to the gym!
I feel you!!!
You’d be surprised. It took two years of regular effort but there was eventually something there.
Then came the pandemic and intensified health issues and I lost it all.
That goes to show that something can be there, if it has been there before
You can also do glute bridges or heel slides (no band) without getting out of bed but I don’t wanna.
