Does your lower back take over during leg raises? This partner-assisted technique isolates the lower abdominals. By controlling the eccentric (lowering) phase of the leg raise, the assistant ensures your hip flexors don't dominate, forcing your transverse abdominis and rectus abdominis to fire correctly. This protects the lumbar spine. 💪 Send this to your workout partner to try! . . . #coreworkout #abworkout #fitness #legraises #lowerabs #partnerworkout #corestability #physicaltherapy #backpainrelief
