How to perform it

Stand between two parallel bars with your feet shoulder-width apart. Place your hands on the bars and lift your body off the ground, supporting your weight on your arms. Engage your abs and slowly lift your legs to the side, keeping them straight. Pause for a moment at the top, then slowly lower your legs back down to the starting position. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
