Lower Abs May-Challenge

[Sir Cheese]

Hey, I had a quick question about the Lower Abs May-Challenge.
It says on day 2 that you have to do 8 leg raises and 10 second hold. Does that mean that you have to hold your legs on the high-point you raise them to for 10 seconds? (I tried that and it seemed entirely too difficult although that may be because I lack the muscle, but day 1 did seem manageble

Does that mean that you have to hold your legs on the high-point you raise them to for 10 seconds?

Yes but if it's too difficult you can keep them raised at 90 degrees, the abs work the same but less strenuously
or you can keep your legs up for as long as you can, if you like the challenge there's no reason not to do it if you can tweak it a bit to make it easier for you.

*raises hand* Wait, wait, wait, understanding problem!
So, I've understood those challenges (and there are others constructed like this) like so:
-You do 8 leg-raises. Pretty basic stuff, brace your core, exhale, lift your legs to around 70° give or take, inhale and lower them to about two inches above the floor, repeat 8 times
-After those leg-raises, you do another and hold THAT one for a 10-count.
-You DON'T hold every one of those 8 leg-raises for a count of 10.
That's how I always understood those challenges. From @Sir Cheese's question I took it that he thought asked if you should hold every leg raise for a 10-count, which, to my understanding, is wrong.
Or maybe I misunderstood the whole question, I don't know, I'm confused now but thought clarification would be good, nonetheless, or it's just me

Edited to correct my many spelling errors

Yes you're right on, I was indeed wondering if I had to hold every leg raise on that high point for ten seconds, but what you are saying sounds quite a lot more doable thanks

The way I do this is:
* 8 leg raises
* Then, after the eighth leg raise, hold legs at extension for 10 seconds.
* Repeat for the indicated # of sets.
This is usually how the Darebee instructions are intended, and I think that's what Fremen was also getting at.

@Shikari perfect, thank you.
I also think that @Fremen hasn't intended anything different, I just wanted to be clear that we were all on the same wave length here. Especially I
