Hanging Leg Tucks

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 knees towards your chest, bending the knees as shown in the pictures, contracting the abdominals.
  • Hold for 2 seconds, then slowly lower your legs to the starting position, stretching the abs.

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.
