Exercise Description

The weighted hanging knee raise exercise builds serious core strength and carves out rock-solid abs. It adds resistance to make your abs work harder than regular knee raises.

How To

1. Hang from a pull-up bar with an overhand grip, arms fully extended 2. Secure a dumbbell or weight plate between your feet or ankles 3. Keep your core tight and slowly lift your knees toward your chest 4. Pause at the top when your thighs are parallel to the ground during this weighted hanging knee raise 5. Lower your legs slowly back to starting position and repeat the weighted hanging knee raise movement

Form Tips

• Keep your shoulders pulled down and back throughout the weighted hanging knee raise • Don't swing or use momentum - control the movement completely • Squeeze your abs hard at the top of each rep • Start light with the weight until you master the weighted hanging knee raise form

Common Mistakes

• Using too much weight too soon in the weighted hanging knee raise exercise • Swinging your body instead of controlled movement • Not going through the full range of motion during weighted hanging knee raise reps
