How To Do Hanging Knee Raises Exercise Video Demonstration and Guide
The Hanging Knee Raise is an excellent exercise that targets your abs.
To get started:
- Grip a pull up bar with a shoulder width, overhand grip, and hang with extended arms and your legs together.
- Contract your abs, bend your knees, and raise your thighs towards your chest by curling your lower back underneath you.
- Squeeze your abs.
- Don’t just lift your knees straight up.
- That primarily targets your hip flexors, not your abs.
- Also try not to lean back to create momentum.
- Once the front of your thighs come close to your chest, under control, slowly lower your legs back to the the start.
- Repeat.
