Rig Knees To Elbow, Hanging

Video coming soon...

The rig knees to elbow hanging workout is a highly effective exercise for targeting the abs.

By hanging from the rig, the core muscles are engaged to stabilize the body.

The movement involves lifting the knees towards the elbows, intensifying the contraction in the abs.

While other muscles like the arms and shoulders are involved, the rig primarily focuses on the abs.

Stand facing the rig with your feet shoulder-width apart.
Reach up and grab the rig with both hands, palms facing away from you.
Hang from the rig, allowing your body to fully extend and your feet to lift off the ground.
Bend your knees and bring them up towards your elbows, engaging your core muscles.
Pause briefly when your knees touch or come close to your elbows.
Slowly lower your legs back down to the starting position, fully extending them.
Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.

Engage your core from the start: Before initiating the movement, focus on activating your abdominal muscles by drawing your belly button in towards your spine. This will create a solid foundation for the exercise and ensure that your abs are fully engaged throughout the movement.
Maintain a controlled and controlled tempo: Avoid swinging or using momentum to complete the exercise. Instead, perform the movement in a slow and controlled manner, emphasizing the contraction of your abs as you bring your knees towards your elbows. This will maximize the effectiveness of the exercise and prevent strain on your lower back.
Focus on the quality of the movement: It’s not about how many repetitions you can do, but rather how well you perform each repetition. Prioritize proper form and technique over quantity. Ensure that you fully extend your legs on the way down and bring your knees up as close to your elbows as possible, feeling the intense contraction in your abs with each repetition.
Engage your upper body as well: While the main focus of this exercise is on the abs, don’t neglect the involvement of your upper body. Maintain a strong grip on the rig handles, keep your shoulders down and back, and actively engage your lats and upper back muscles. This will not only enhance your stability but also help in maintaining a proper posture throughout the movement.
