Exercise Instructions:

The hanging leg raise is an awesome exercise for building the lower abs. All you need for this exercise is somewhere to hang from. It could be a chinup bar or it could be a tree. Once you're hanging tense up the mid section, and while keeping your legs straight, raise your legs up slowly. You should raise your legs are high as possible. Pause for a second, and slowly lower your legs back to the starting position. Repeat for desired reps.

Tips:

Speed is so important with the hanging leg raise. If you swing your legs you're using momentum and your abs will not benefit much from the exercise. You can also do this exercise weighted, see Weighted Hanging Knee Raise.
