Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Scissor Leg Raises.
A lying bodyweight exercise where the legs alternate crossing over each other in a scissor pattern, challenging the core and hip flexors through a continuous alternating motion. The criss-cross pattern also engages the inner and outer thighs as stabilisers.
The Scissor Leg Raises is a foundational movement that builds strength and muscle through controlled, progressive overload. Train it 1 to 2 times per week with 3 to 5 working sets per session, gradually adding weight or reps as form holds up.
