Description of exercise Weighted abdominal lift exercise is a core strengthening exercise that targets the abdominal muscles. It involves lying on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground. Holding a weight, such as a dumbbell or medicine ball, close to your chest, you lift your head, shoulders, and upper back off the ground while engaging your core muscles. This exercise not only works the rectus abdominis (six-pack muscles) but also the obliques and deep core muscles. By adding weight, it increases the intensity and challenges the muscles even more. It can help improve posture, balance, and overall core strength. It is important to start with a light weight and gradually increase as you become stronger to avoid injury.
