I would consider this to be more of a hip flexor exercise than an abdominal exercise. If you want to make it more of a abdominal exercise, you would want to add spinal flexion (as in a reverse crunch).

excellent to do as your first ab workout to get the most out the hardest area to hit. the other ab and core workouts will help tone it out quicker.

Great exercise! Try doing it with you legs straight out and then throw in a few pull-ups at the same time. I also add ankle weights (2.5lbs per legs) when doing it. You will really feel the burn then!

In order to emphasize or isolate the abdominals better, do not bring your legs all the way down. That is, keep the entire movement from between the knees being parallel to the ground to up and into the chest.

Best move there is do it slowly without rocking back and forth once you get that core streght, also add a dumbell to your legs and it kills.

For those who are more advanced the best type of hanging leg raise involves the legs being held strait (no bend in the knee)as this puts more tension on the abs rather than the hip flexors like when you have the knees bent at 90*s.

I did this workout tonite and finally controlled the swinging. I adjusted my form, instead of bending my knees I am bringing my legs srt8 up. Its almost a combo of the HANGING PIKE. To see a example, type in INSANE KANE episode #27

Great abdominal exercise for building the mid section, but it comes second to the pike since most people don't have too much of a difficulty building the mid section in their six pack to size, this workout isn't needed nearly as much as something that engages lower and upper abs. Try chin ups, pull ups, or alternating chin and pull ups with the hanging leg raise for a seriously engaging workout. Keep form and flex the abs. Weight the legs for more intensity.-See Less
