Hanging Leg Raises

(1) Begin by grasping the bar firmly with an overhand grip.

(2) Keep the body as steady as possible, and slightly bend the knees.

(3) Slowly raise the legs until they are parallel to the floor.

Remember to slowly lower the legs to the starting position to prevent the torso from swinging. Breathing is especially important to allow for complete contraction of the abdominals. Breathe out moving up, and in moving down.
