Equipment
Engage your core and then lift your legs up towards the bar, keeping them straight and together.
Try to touch the bar with your toes, making sure to avoid swinging or using momentum to lift your legs.
Once your toes touch the bar, slowly lower your legs back down to the starting position, maintaining control and not allowing them to swing back and forth.
Repeat this exercise for the desired number of repetitions, ensuring each time to engage your core and keep your legs straight.
