Hanging Leg Raise

Who doesn't want a flat, tight tummy!  The hanging leg raise is a great way to get the abs you want.   This move is tough, but doing it right can really tighten up your lower abs like no other exercise.  With this exercise, when you bring your legs toward your torso, whether hanging or lying down, you are relying more on your lower abdominal muscles.  Along with a sensible diet and cardio...your tight tummy is on the way.


Step 1: Grasp the overhead bar with palms forward, keep your legs together and just let your legs hang straight down.


Step 2:  Keeping your legs straight, raise your legs up directly in front of you until they are just slightly above being parallel to the floor.  Hold this position as long as possible, then slowly lower your legs back to the starting position and repeat.


When you get to the gym today, add this to your workout.  You'll be glad you did and the results over time will be amazing!
