How to do Hanging Knee Raises
- Hang from a pull-up bar with hands shoulder-width apart and arms fully extended overhead.
- Engage your shoulders by pulling them slightly down and back to keep your body stable.
- Bend your knees and pull them up toward your chest by curling your hips under, not just lifting the legs.
- Squeeze your abs hard at the top with your knees pulled high and your pelvis tilted up.
- Lower your legs slowly back down over 2 to 3 seconds until you reach a dead hang again.
- Repeat without swinging, letting the bar still completely between reps if needed.
