How to perform

Hang from a pull-up bar with an overhand grip, shoulder-width apart. Engage your core, stabilize your body, and lift your knees towards your elbows by flexing at the hips. Lower slowly, maintaining core tension. Repeat.

Muscles Worked

Rectus abdominis

Tips

Maintain a firm grip. Control movements to engage core muscles. Avoid momentum; use muscle contraction. Keep shoulders down and away from your ears. Exhale on the lift, inhale on the lower. Beginners: start with a smaller range of motion.
