Hanging Straight Leg Raise
Starting Posture
Hang from a pull-up bar with an overhand grip, palms facing away from you and arms fully extended.
How to Exercise

Breath Control
Exhale as you lift your legs and inhale as you lower them back down.
Common errors
Common errors include swinging the legs, bending the knees, or using momentum to lift the legs. Make sure to keep your legs straight and lift them using your core muscles.
