Hanging Leg Raises

Instructions

  • This exercise is performed in the hanging position, with your legs fully extended. If the bar is not high enough to fully extend your legs, keep your knees bent.
  • Raise your legs 90 degrees, trying to keep them straight.
  • Hold for 1 second, then slowly lower them to the starting position.

Tips

  • You might find that it is hard to hold on to the bar for too long at first. As you continue to perform hanging exercises, your grip will strengthen.
