How to perform it

Hang from a pull-up bar with your arms fully extended and your palms facing away from you. Engage your core and lift your legs up in front of you, keeping them straight. Continue lifting until your legs are parallel to the ground or as high as you can comfortably go. 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.
