Hanging Knees to Elbows
Gym Exercise Card
Equipment
The hanging knees to elbows exercise targets the core muscles, particularly the rectus abdominis, and helps to improve abdominal strength and stability. It also engages the hip flexors for controlling the leg movement, making it an excellent exercise for building a strong midsection.
How to do it
- Hang from a pull up bar with a shoulder-width grip.
- Engage your core and slightly bend your knees.
- Lift your knees toward your elbows while keeping your back straight.
- Pause briefly at the top, then lower your legs back to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
