How to do the Hanging Leg Raise

  1. 1

    Hang from a chin-up bar with both arms extended at arms length in top of you using either a wide grip or a medium grip. The legs should be straight down with the pelvis rolled slightly backwards. This will be your starting position.

  2. 2

    Raise your legs until the torso makes a 90-degree angle with the legs. Exhale as you perform this movement and hold the contraction for a second or so.

  3. 3

    Go back slowly to the starting position as you breathe in.

  4. 4

    Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
