Instructions

Preparation

Stand on platform of parallel bar station and grasp bars with overhand grip. Lift body and hold body with straight arms. Keep torso upright and knees and hips slightly flexed.

Execution

Flex hips and knees to raise thighs up as far as possible. Flexing waist to raise hip slightly at upper point of motion will shift workload to abs. Slowly return and repeat.

Variations / Comments

The motion of raising legs only works hip flexors in a dynamic way. Abs serve as stabilizers, unless waist is being flexed at top of motion.
