Instructions

1. Position yourself beneath a pull-up bar and grasp it with an overhand grip, hands placed shoulder-width apart.

2. Begin by hanging from the bar with your arms and body fully extended, and your legs straight down.

3. Brace your core and keep your body steady as you prepare to move.

4. Bend your knees and, using your abdominals, bring your knees upward toward your chest.

5. Tuck your legs and continue to lift them as high as you comfortably can, aiming to get your knees close to your chest.

6. Pause for a brief moment when you reach the peak of the knee lift.

7. Slowly lower your legs back down to the starting position, controlling the movement and maintaining tension in your abdominals.

8. Do not swing or use momentum to lift your legs; the movement should be controlled and deliberate.

9. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

IMPORTANT: Always ensure you warm up properly before performing any exercise and check with a fitness professional if you're unfamiliar with the exercise or if you have any pre-existing health conditions.
