Description of exercise Double leg scissor lift is a strength training exercise that targets the lower body muscles, particularly the quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes. To perform this exercise, you lie on your back with your legs extended straight up towards the ceiling. Then, you slowly lower one leg towards the ground while keeping the other leg straight up.
