Modifying leg raises for better form and ab targeting?

Hey everyone, I've been trying to improve my leg raise form lately. I find that when I hold onto a bench or bar above my head during leg raises, it's much easier to keep my pelvis tucked and my lower back flat on the floor. This seems to target my abs more effectively compared to doing them with my arms at my sides. With the traditional form, I struggle to maintain proper positioning and often feel my lower back arching. Has anyone else experimented with this modified version? I'm curious if others have found it helpful for maintaining good form and really feeling it in the abs. Let me know your thoughts or any other leg raise tips you've found useful!

Need advice for low-impact strength training with joint issues (28F, 5'4", 130 lbs)

Hi everyone, I'm looking for some guidance on getting back in shape while working around some joint problems. I'm a 28-year-old woman, 5'4", 130 lbs, dealing with: • Tendonitis in both elbows • Mild carpal tunnel syndrome • Plantar fasciitis I used to do a lot of yoga and pilates, but now even downward dog and planks hurt my arms. I can't afford physical therapy right now, so I'm trying to figure this out on my own. I've lost a lot of strength and flexibility and I'm feeling pretty discouraged. I'd really appreciate advice on: • Bodyweight or isometric exercises that don't stress the elbows/wrists • Core and lower body moves that are safe with plantar fasciitis • How to build a balanced routine with these limitations Is it possible to still make progress and gain strength with modified exercises? Any tips would be so helpful - I'm motivated to get healthier, I just need a safe starting point. Thanks in advance!

I have been extremely pleased with the product and have lost 11 lbs so far which is much quicker than I expected. I hope to keep taking Trimtone to lose a couple more pounds and also have more energy in the day.
