Training Tip: Leg Pulls Rotated on sling trainer

With the sling trainer exercise Leg Pulls Rotated do you train your core muscles, primarily the oblique and straight abdominal muscles.

A guest post by Christoph Völker from target10a.com

This is how the exercise Leg Pulls Rotated goes

As a starting position you go into the lateral forearm support. The upper hand is supported on the hip while you are both legs in Slingtrainer. The bottom foot should be about 20 cm away from the ground. Now you pull your knees to the chest and turn your upper body to the ground. At the end of the movement, your knees are close to your chest and your upper body is parallel to the floor. Once there, it goes back to the starting position.

You can work with momentum while doing the exercise. However, the less momentum you work, the more effectively your muscles will be strengthened.

Execution of the exercise

Try to perform two to three sets of 4 to 8 repetitions per page. In between, take a break of about two minutes.
