Slow Hanging Leg Raises

An exercise that targets the rectus abdominis, hip flexors and external obliques, Slow Hanging Leg Raises are a great introduction to ab exercises and isolation techniques. To perform Slow Hanging Leg Raises effectively;

1. Stand beneath a bar, reaching up and clutching it overhand with both hands.
2. Maintaining a straight back, inhale as you engage your abdominal muscles.
3. Lift your legs by bending at the knees. Go no higher than your waist.
4. Exhale as you lower your legs in a controlled movement until you’re back in the starting position. Remember to keep your core engaged.

Reps: 3 sets of 8-10
