For abs the crunch is king but the hanging leg raise is a great compliment to crunch exercises and you can do this hanging from a home pullup bar.

The key is to doing these correctly is to do them slowly, no swinging. Your torso should remain motionless and your legs should slowly pivot at the hips. You go from hanging to as far up as you can. If you have really strong abs and its not enough of a challenge, hold a weight between your feet. If you find this exercise too hard to do without swinging then do this exercise with your knees bent 90 degrees.

Remember, if you want ripped abs its 95% fat removal and 5% ab exercises. The best abs in the world are invisible under a mound of fat. To remove the fat you need to eat less and do more cardio, that simple.

    that's not really hard, i don't have a really strong abs but i still can do it easily (i got two packs from doing this............good to try)

  • This exercice is great for iliupsoas and rectus femoris. The abdominal muscles do not flex or raise the legs at all. They cant, since they have they have their insertion in the pelvis and their origin in at the lower ribs. Not even the obliques or the transversus muscle will get any training. If you want to activate the abdominals you have to flex your torso, to do that you will have to raise your legs much higher.

    I recommend that you at least check out wikipedia before deleting my comment.

  • im taking this advice from one of scooby's videos and i find this works well for me. He says to have a good diet and do more cardio to burn the fat in the mid section.
