How to do it
- Set your forearms on the pads and your back against the rest, legs hanging.
- Press down through the elbows and keep the shoulders away from your ears.
- Curl the knees up towards the chest, rolling the pelvis rather than just lifting the thighs.
- Lower slowly without swinging. It takes the grip out of the hanging knee raise, which is usually what fails first.
