Hanging Leg Raise

AdvancedBodyweight

Hanging Leg Raises hit the abs and hip flexors hard while your grip and shoulders keep you stable on the bar. The hanging position removes any support from the floor, making it a genuinely advanced core exercise. Controlling the descent is where much of the benefit lies.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Grip a pull-up bar with a neutral or overhand grip and let your arms fully extend.

  2. 2

    Brace your abs by taking a breath into your stomach and tightening your midsection.

  3. 3

    Raise your legs by flexing your hips to about ninety degrees, keeping your torso still.

  4. 4

    Avoid swinging or using momentum.

  5. 5

    Lower your legs back down slowly and under control.
