raising the legs to the bar

Leg raises to the bar — technique exercises:

1. Grasp the bar with a grip slightly wider than shoulder width. The legs and feet together. Tip: for easier grip can use straps.
2. Bend your knees at a right angle of 90 degrees and pull your legs up so that the upper part of the thighs were parallel to the ground and calves perpendicular. This will be your initial position.
3. On the exhale, raise your legs up so that almost touch the legs of the crossbar. Hint: at the peak of the movement try to straighten the legs.
4. Slowly lower legs to starting position. Tip: try to avoid swinging the torso and jerks.
5. Complete the required number of repetitions.

Variations: to complicate the exercises use weights.
