Hanging Knee Raises Technique Instructions

Hanging Knee Raises
Technique - Start by standing underneath the chin up bar. You can either jump up to grip the chin up bar or use a chair whichever is easier. Grip the chin up bar parallel to your shoulders with your palms facing forwards. Exhale as you raise your knees upwards towards your chest in a controlled manner trying to to swing your body. Squeeze your abs muscles inwards at the top of the motion and hold the position for a count of 1. Inhale as you lower your down again in a slow, controlled manner until you legs are straight. Again try to keep your upper body as strong and stable as possible. Do not allow your feet to touch the floor or allow any longer than a 1 count before starting the next rep as this will maintain pressure on the abs muscles and increase the overall benefits of the exercise. Repeat this technique for the desired number of reps.
