Hanging Leg Raises

1. Hang from a chin-up bar with your legs and feet together using an overhand grip (palms facing away from you) that is slightly wider than shoulder width.

2. With knees slightly bent pull your legs up as you exhale until you almost touch your shins with the bar above you.


3. Lower your legs as slowly as possible until you reach the starting position. Avoid swinging and using momentum at all times, and do not perform this exercise with an arched back.


Tip: If you have a weak grip or have shoulder problems try using hanging elbow straps. Advanced users can perform this exercise with ankle weights.
