Tutorial

  1. 1
    Hang from a pull-up bar. Your feet are off the ground and hanging straight down.
  2. 2
    Pull your knees powerfully toward your chest by bending your legs and tensing your abdominal muscles. Exhale as you do this.
  3. 3
    Slowly return your legs to the starting position so that they are stretched out again. Keep your abdominal muscles tense even in the lowest position. Breathe in as you do this.
  4. 4
    A repetition has thus been performed. Repeat this process for the specified number of repetitions.
Tip
Your abdominal muscles are tensed throughout the exercise. Make sure that you curl your hips in towards your stomach. Try to work only from your abdominal muscles and don't put too much strain on your legs. Avoid swinging with your legs.
