Hip raises are a core exercise that strengthen and tone all of your back supporting core muscles. While the movement looks simple, it could be one of the most important exercises you can do.
Besides tightening and strengthening your core muscles, the hip raise targets the glute muscles and will help you build added slimming muscle.
Because your glutes are such a large muscle group, you will also benefit from extra fat and calories being burned.
