How to add hanging knee raises to your workout
You may find it difficult to add hanging knee raises to your routine. To make it less stressful and more enjoyable, here are certain factors to consider:
- When should you do them? You can perform the hanging knee raises alone. However, it is important to engage in an effective warm up before you start. You can add the exercise to your routine by doing it after lying ab exercises [4], such as crunches, and planks.
- How many to do: The number of raises you do greatly depends on how far you’ve gone in your fitness training and what you aim to achieve. Beginners can try finishing 2-3 sets of 8-10 reps. Pay less attention to your speed, and focus more on your form. It would help to rest when you feel tired.
- Is it right for you? To get the best out of the hanging knee raises, you must have a strong upper body. So, if you’ve recently done surgery on any area in your upper body or you are recovering from an injury, it is imperative to talk to a professional trainer before doing the exercise.
