How to: Hanging Leg Raise

Primary Muscles Used:Abs, Rectus Abdominis

Exercise Families:Trunk Flexion

Equipment:Chin Up Bar

  1. Standing on a bench, hold onto the chin-up bar with a neutral grip (palms facing inwards), hands shoulder-width apart. Step off the bench and extend your arms so that you are hanging from the chin-up bar. This is your starting position.
  2. Inhale. Exhale. Bend your knees and, using your abdominals, bring them in towards your chest.
  3. Inhale. Extend your knees to return to the starting position. Repeat for the specified number of repetitions, ensuring that you keep your abdominals engaged to prevent your body from swaying.
