Abs

Knee raise
Target: lower abdominals

A move that really works your lower abs. Rest on dip bars or use elbow straps to take your weight. If you’re feeling strong, you can hang from a pull-up bar.

Hold your feet together off the floor and try not to swing.
Use your abdominals to draw your knees up towards your chest.
Hold for a second at the top of the move.
Lower slowly, still without letting your body swing.
