While doing the leg lift exercise, why should my lower back not leave the ground?
Question by RunsOutside: While doing the leg lift exercise, why should my lower back not leave the ground?
I’ve seen many similar instructions for doing leg lifts while flat on your back, esp Pilates double straight leg stretch. But all say to engage the core, lower legs only to 45 degrees, and to not allow the lower back to lift off the ground. Why? Will this disengage a muscle or cause strain? Looking for answer that includes which muscles are affected when back lifts. Thanks!
If my lower back lifts up, exactly which muscle becomes disengaged? Where can I find a diagram?

Lifting the lower back could cause strain, and also it keeps you from isolating the abdominal muscles.

How long a day should I exercise for maximum weightloss?
Question by JY: How long a day should I exercise for maximum weightloss?
I have about 5 months and I want to be in the best shape possible when I leave on a trip. Right now I’m 19 years old, 5’6″ and weight 152 lbs. I started losing weight in June and was 160 lbs then. As far as fitness goes, I can do about 12 pullups on the pullup bar in a row. I want to get a flat stomach(never had one before and am DYING to see it) and put on a significant amount of muscle by then(not like arnold, leaned out). Right now I’ve been eating around 1200-1400 calories and working out like 30-35 minutes a day. I’ve been doing the Power 90 plan. I kind of feel like I should do more though(for actual results). Should I do another workout in the evening such as switching up between Tae bo and Pilates? I would even consume more calories if I need to for results.
I have a lot of time to kill atm and am willing to use it to its full potential. Thanks.
