How to do it

Brace your abs hard at the bottom and exhale as you lift the legs.

  1. 1

    Hang from a special bar with your hands shoulder-width apart.

  2. 2

    Keep your legs straight and raise them in front of you until your body forms an L shape.

  3. 3

    Lower your legs back down to the starting position in a controlled manner.

  4. 4

    Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Expert tip

Keep your legs straight and avoid swinging to isolate the abs and hip flexors effectively.
