How to perform?

Hanging Leg Raises is a bodyweight exercise that targets the muscles of the rectus abdominis (abs), obliques, hip flexors, and lower back. The exercise is performed by hanging from a pull-up bar or other sturdy surface and lifting the legs up towards the bar, keeping them straight or slightly bent. This movement challenges the core muscles to work together to control the movement and maintain stability. It's considered an isolation exercise, meaning it only works one muscle group at a time.
