Hanging Leg Raise Video Exercise Guide

The hanging leg raise is a challenging core exercise performed by hanging from a pull-up bar and lifting your legs straight up in front of you.

It primarily targets the lower abdominal muscles while also working the hip flexors, obliques, and stabilizing muscles in the shoulders and forearms due to the grip and hang position. T

This exercise is excellent for developing core strength and definition, especially in the lower abs, and it also helps improve core stability, grip strength, and body control, making it beneficial for athletes and anyone working on calisthenics or gymnastics-style movements.

Because of its difficulty, beginners can start with hanging knee raises and progress to straight-leg versions as their strength improves.
