Dynamic Flexibility Warm Up - Opposite Arm Leg Raise Stretch

http://AskTheTrainer.com Use this in between abdominal exercises.

You can perform this with a general dynamic flexibility warm up.

This is a great exercise to bridge abdominal exercises.

Say you do a minute of the bicycle maneuver, your abs are burning, switch to these opposite arm/leg raises for 10-20 reps and then go back to your next set.

Do you have tight hamstrings?

Have somebody observe you perform this exercise. If you try your hardest to keep your legs straight yet cannot, you have synergistic dominance of your glutes by your hamstrings.

If this is the case, you need to work your glutes and stretch those hamstrings.

You may not be aware of certain muscle imbalances. You should educate yourself before it's too late and you get an overuse or traumatic injury which will set back your training.
