Exercise Description

The twisting hanging knee raise builds a rock-solid core while hitting your obliques hard. This move creates serious ab strength and helps you build that defined midsection.

How To

1. Hang from a pull-up bar with your arms fully extended and shoulders engaged 2. Keep your core tight and slowly lift your knees toward your chest 3. As your knees reach hip level, twist them to one side while keeping control 4. Hold the twisting hanging knee raise position briefly, then slowly lower with control 5. Repeat the twisting hanging knee raise on the opposite side for balanced development

Form Tips

• Keep your shoulders pulled down and back throughout the entire twisting hanging knee raise movement • Move slowly and controlled - rushing kills the effectiveness of this exercise • Focus on using your abs to lift, not momentum or swinging motions • Breathe out as you lift your knees and twist during the twisting hanging knee raise

Common Mistakes

• Swinging your body instead of using controlled movement during the twisting hanging knee raise • Dropping your knees too fast on the way down instead of controlling the descent • Letting your shoulders shrug up toward your ears during the twisting hanging knee raise
