Instructions
1. Grip a pull-up bar with your hands shoulder-width apart using an overhand grip (palms facing away from you).
2. Start by hanging with your arms fully extended and your legs straight down below you.
3. Keeping your legs straight, brace your core and lift your legs up in front of you while simultaneously flexing your hips to raise your feet towards the bar.
4. As you lift your legs, avoid swinging and use a controlled motion to prevent momentum from assisting the movement.
5. Continue lifting your legs until your thighs are at least parallel to the ground, but ideally raise them as high as possible towards the pull-up bar without bending your knees.
6. Pause briefly at the top of the motion.
7. Slowly lower your legs back down to the starting position in a controlled manner, ensuring that you maintain tension in your core.
8. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Make sure you maintain control throughout the entire movement and do not allow your body to swing. Adjust the number of repetitions and sets to match your fitness level.
