Hanging Leg Raises
Execution Guide
- Hang from a pull-up bar with an overhand grip.
- Keep your core tight to prevent swinging.
- Raise your legs with knees straight (or bent for easier variation).
- Lift until your legs are parallel to the floor or higher.
- Lower slowly back to the starting position.
Range of Motion
Legs hanging straight down to legs at or above hip level.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- ×Swinging to generate momentum
- ×Dropping the legs too fast
- ×Not engaging the core (using momentum instead)
