Hanging Leg Raise

How To Do Hanging Leg Raise

Grasp the bar using an overhand grip, ensuring your thumbs are wrapped around the bar for increased stability. Although you don't have to hang entirely, aim to position your hands well above your head for optimal grip.

1. As you begin the movement, exhale and lift your feet off the ground, extending your legs straight in front of you. Tilt your pelvis slightly backward and engage your core muscles, including your abdominals and hip flexors, to support the motion.

2. Elevate your legs to a challenging position while maintaining proper form. Strive to reach a parallel position with the ground, where your hips are bent at a 90-degree angle, or even slightly higher if you can.

3. Gradually and with control, lower your legs back down to the starting position, inhaling throughout this phase of the exercise. Maintain a posterior pelvic tilt, ensuring your pelvis remains tilted backward, even at the bottom of the movement.
