Common mistakes to avoid
If you want to get the best out of the hanging knee raises and avoid injuries, there are certain mistakes you must avoid. They include:
Swinging
Do not swing when trying to lift your leg. You should focus more on your hip flexors [5] and hips. This helps regulate your movement and engage your core.
Shoulders Hunched
Hunching your shoulders during the exercise can expose them to more injuries. You should keep your shoulders down and move them away from your ears.
Lowering Legs rapidly
Your core muscles are the most engaged muscles when taking your legs down during the exercise. It is important to lower them gradually and slowly. Swinging or swaying the legs can result in severe injuries.
