The testicles are housed in the scrotum. It is the scrotum's job to keep the testicles at the correct temperature. If the scrotum senses that the temperature of the testicles is getting too high, it will drop them farther from the body. If it feels the temperature is getting too low, it will raise them closer to the body to warm up. In the winter, the air is colder, so the scrotum is colder. As a result the scrotum contracts to bring the testicles closer to the body to keep them warm. This is normal and how they are supposed to work. The only problem could be if your testicles actually enter your abdomen and then have trouble coming out. If this happens you need to see your doctor to get them brought back into the scrotum. If a testicle stays inside the abdomen too long it can cause impotence and eventually testicular cancer.

Leg lifts are contraindicated due to what?

"Although many exercisers still use them, leg lifts are a contraindicated exercise. The idea that lifting ones legs off the ground for abdominal development is flawed at the biomechanical level. The rectus abdominis connects the sternum to the pelvis. The abdominals do not attach to the femur; therefore the contraction of the abdominal musculature will pull on the pelvis in the supine position - not the legs"
