5 Effective Lower Ab Workouts For Men

#2 Hanging Leg Raise

The hanging leg raise is an intermediate-level strength training exercise that not only targets the abdomen but also actives the lats, obliques and the back.

Instructions:

Step 1: Stand in front of a pull-up bar and grab it with a shoulder-width grip. The palms should be facing away from the body and the legs should be held together during the entire duration of the exercise.

Step 2: Pull yourself upwards until the chin is just above the bar. Keep a straight back while performing this motion.

Step 3: While hanging from the bar, lift your legs towards the ceiling such that they are parallel to the ground.

Step 4: Hold the position for 60 seconds and return to the initial position.

Perform the exercise for the recommended number of times.

Important tip: Keep your legs straight throughout the duration of the exercise for maximum efficiency.
