The leg raises are a collection of popular strength-gaining exercises that target your interior hips and work on your abdominal muscles to enhance their endurance and size. These exercises involve lifting your legs as high as possible through a complete range of motion but may also be done through a partial range of motion. Leg raises allow you to move only your hip joints and use the abdominal muscles to stabilize your spine.
