Hanging legs
 

Hanging leg raise

Grab a pull-up bar and lower yourself into a dead hang. Let your legs straighten and pull your pelvis back slightly. Tense your core and raise your legs until your thighs are perpendicular to your torso. Hold then lower slowly back to the starting position.

Top tip: Let your legs dead hang at the bottom of each rep. This will force you to generate movement with your abs and stop you relying on the momentum of the down swing to get back up. If you’re swinging, you’re not winning.
