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.

It is also important to avoid leg pull exercises if you are experiencing any pain or discomfort in the knees or lower back. It is always best to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new exercise routine, especially if you have any pre-existing conditions or injuries.
