Muscles Worked

Front

Primary: rectus abdominis, hip flexors, core

How to do it

Hang from a pull-up bar with straight arms. Keep your legs straight and raise them until they're parallel to the floor (or higher), then lower with control.

Form Tips

Anterior tilt of the pelvis at the top ensures full rectus abdominis engagement. Avoid swinging. Bent knees make this easier.
