Hanging Knee Raises

Build hip flexor and core strength with controlled hanging knee raises.

Hanging Knee Raises are often viewed as an abdominal movement, but the hip flexors play a primary role in lifting the thighs. At FitnessTracker, we recommend focusing on controlled hip flexion for best results.

Instructions

  1. Hang from a pull-up bar with arms fully extended.
  2. Engage your core and avoid swinging.
  3. Lift your knees toward your chest.
  4. Pause briefly at the top.
  5. Lower with control and repeat.
