Exercise Instructions
- The hanging knee raise hits your lower abs. You can hang from literally anything to do this exercise, but the most popular method using hanging from a pull up bar.
- Grip the bar with hands around shoulder width apart. Increase the width if you're tall and your feet touch the floor.
- Once you're hanging with your feet slightly off the floor, slowly pull your knees up keeping your legs together.
- Pause for a second, and slowly lower your knees back to the starting position.
- Repeat for desired reps.
Knee Raise Tips:
- You must do this exercise slowly. If you want to get the most benefit out of the hanging knee raise, slow it down.
- As you become more advanced, you can place a dumbbell between your feet.
- Avoid swinging your body, keeping your torso as still as possible.

I had a baby 8 months ago and have found that my ligaments are still really loose. This exercise really hurts my elbows and shoulders. Is there a different exercise that I can do that will target the same muscles that won't require me to hang?

You could do this on dip bars, or there's also a machine that supports your back and forearms. Don't remember what it's known as, at the moment.

You can target similar muscle groups from doing flutter kicks or bicycle crunches. basically any ab exercise that targets the obliques and lower abs.

I am working out at home and do not have access to any machines. Can you recommend a good replacement exercise?
