Description of exercise Leg pull is a Pilates exercise that targets the core muscles, specifically the abdominal and lower back muscles. It is performed by lying on your stomach with your arms extended overhead and your legs straight. From this position, you lift your upper body and legs off the ground while keeping your arms and legs straight. This creates a challenging resistance for the core muscles, requiring them to work harder to stabilize the body. The leg pull exercise helps improve core strength, stability, and posture. It also targets the glutes, hamstrings, and hip flexors, making it a great full-body workout. It can be modified for different fitness levels by adjusting the height of the legs and arms.

    When to avoid this exercise

  • Leg pull exercises, also known as leg extension exercises, should be avoided in certain situations to prevent injury and maximize results. These exercises involve extending the leg against resistance, which can put strain on the knee joint and surrounding muscles. Therefore, individuals with knee injuries or conditions such as arthritis should avoid leg pull exercises to avoid exacerbating their condition. Additionally, pregnant women should avoid these exercises as they can put pressure on the abdomen and pelvic floor muscles.
