Things You'll Need:
- Pull up bar
- Ab Straps
-
Step 1
In order to get a great ab workout by doing hanging leg raises, you'll need something to hang from. It would be wise to invest in some type of pull up bar that you can install in your home or garage. To make hanging leg raises even easier, invest a few dollars into some ab straps. (see link in resources section)
-
Step 2
Begin your ab workout by hanging from the bar (or with your arms through your ab straps) and slowly lifting your legs up as high as you can. If you're just beginning, you can bend your legs at the knees and lift your knees up to your chest and then slowly lower back down. Try to complete 2 to 3 sets of 20 repetitions each. If you can't perform 20 reps, just complete 2 to 3 sets and complete as many reps as you can.

Step 3
To get a great ab workout for your obliques, simply follow the step above. Except in order to target your obliques, you'll need to lift your legs up to the left side and complete 20 reps. You can either do 20 reps to the left side and then do 20 reps to the right side, or you can alternate sides but just be sure to complete 2 to 3 sets of 20 reps PER SIDE.
