Hanging Reverse Curl

This variation specifically focuses on the abdominal muscles since the legs are not moving.

Equipment:
Gym "high chair"

Exercise technique:

• Start by crossing your legs at the ankles.
• Curl your lower body by tilting pelvis upward. Do not try to raise legs. It is a very small movement. Do not expect legs to move a lot.
• Slowly release pelvis back to starting position.

Performance tips:

• This is not a leg raise but a reverse curl done in a vertical hanging position.
• Remember that this is a small movement of the pelvis, not a swinging of the legs.
• Avoid hunching shoulders. Keep them relaxed and pressed down away from your ears.

Repetitions:
Do 12-15 repetitions. Rest. Do one more set.
