Hanging Leg Raise

Muscle Groups Worked:

How to Perform This Exericse:

1) Start in the hanging position either with your hands on a pullup bar, or if unable to do so, with your arms in slings attached to a pullup bar.

2) Begin with your legs fully extended, flex your hips while bringing your legs upward without bending at the knees and without swinging your body to help with momentum.

Notes:
Make sure that you aren’t swinging your body and using momentum to get your feet up.  You can preferentially hit one side of your abdominals by rotating slightly and bringing your legs up toward one side, or the other.
