Knee raises move your legs towards your chest. The lower part of the straight abdominal muscles are trained. Performing the exercise from the side also works the lateral abdominal muscles (obliquus abdominis).
Hang from a pull-up bar. Keep your feet off the floor and hang straight down.
2
Move your knees diagonally towards your left shoulder by bending your legs and tensing your right lateral abdominal muscles. Exhale as you do this.
3
Slowly bring your legs back to the starting position so that they are stretched downwards again. Keep your abdominal muscles tensed even in the lowest position. Breathe in as you do so.
4
One repetition with the left side has now been completed. Then repeat this process with the right side until the specified number of repetitions have been completed with both sides.
Tip
Your abdominal muscles are tensed throughout the exercise. Try to work only from your abdominal muscles and don't put too much strain on your legs. Avoid swinging with your legs.
