How to do it

  1. Set the foot cradles low and place your feet inside, body in a plank or hanging hold.
  2. Brace your core hard to steady the straps.
  3. Raise your legs or hips up, curling toward your chest.
  4. Lower back down slowly without letting the straps swing.

The one cue that matters

Control the straps, any swing means your core lost the fight, slow it down.

Muscles worked

The TRX Leg Raise isolates the Core — no passengers. That makes it a clean tool for adding targeted core volume without extra fatigue.
