It is difficult to complete without certain skills, especially the hanging vertical leg raise that we are going to talk about today. It is inherently difficult because the legs cannot be bent, and it is a test of the body's balance and coordination.

GoalMuscle training:Mainly the lower rectus abdominis. Secondary oblique muscles, serratus anterior

Starting position: Hold the horizontal bar with your palms forward, your body hanging naturally, and your legs together.
