Hanging Leg Raise

Lower abs

Isolation

About

You can target your entire abs by lifting your legs while hanging. You have to use not only the lower abdominal muscles but also the whole body muscles because you have to hold the body that shakes back and forth!

How to Hanging Leg Raise

Starting Position

Please hang on the pull-up bar with both hands.

Proper Form

1. Keep your legs straight and lift them up to your waist.

2. Slowly return to the starting position.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when you raise your legs, and inhale when you lower them.

Precautions

Since it's a high-difficulty exercise, please substitute it with leg raises if it's too difficult.
