Rig Hanging Leg Raise

Video coming soon...

The hanging leg raise workout is a core exercise that primarily engages the abs.

Using a rig, this exercise targets the lower abs and hip flexors without overstressing secondary muscles.

Stand facing the rig, with your feet shoulder-width apart and your arms extended above your head, gripping the bar.
Engage your core and lift your legs off the ground, keeping them straight and together.
Continue raising your legs until they are parallel to the ground, or as high as you can comfortably go.
Hold the position for a brief moment, focusing on engaging your abdominal muscles.
Slowly lower your legs back down to the starting position, maintaining control throughout the movement.

Start by hanging from the rig with your arms fully extended and your shoulders relaxed.
Engage your core muscles by pulling your belly button towards your spine throughout the entire exercise.
Keep your legs straight and together as you slowly raise them towards the ceiling.
Avoid swinging or using momentum to lift your legs; focus on using your abdominal muscles to control the movement.
Pause for a moment at the top of the movement, squeezing your abs to maximize engagement.
Slowly lower your legs back down to the starting position, maintaining control and tension in your abs.
For an extra challenge, try adding ankle weights or performing the exercise with a slight twist to target oblique muscles.
