INTERMEDIATE
Hanging Single-Leg Raise
Hanging Single-Leg Raise is a variation of leg raise that helps build upper-body strength in your shoulders, back, and lats. Hanging leg raises can also help develop hip flexor strength, active flexibility, and functional strength.
Instructions
- Take the pullup bar with a shoulder-width overhand grip, making sure your arms are completely straight, and your feet are off the floor; this is your starting position.
- Bend one knee to a 90-degree angle while keeping the opposite leg straight. Prepare the body and raise the knee to the shoulders. Pause and then return to the starting position.
Tips
- Avoid allowing the body to rock back and forth. Instead, keep your torso as still and stable as possible.
