Safety and Precautions
To avoid falling off, make sure the hanging facilities or bar is properly fixed. Experts advise people recovering from a surgical procedure, with medical conditions, or injuries to visit their healthcare professional before adding the hanging knee raises to their workout.
Hanging lifts is a bad idea if you:
- Are pregnant or just gave birth
- Have been diagnosed with diastasis recti [6]
- Recently underwent a surgical procedure on your abdomen
- Are recovering from injuries or a surgical procedure on your legs, arms, neck, or back.
If you fall under any of these categories, it is important to speak with your physical therapist or trainer to know which exercises would be best for you. If you experience any pain when doing this exercise, it would be best to stop.
To get the best out of the hanging knee raises, you should work towards getting 10 repetitions in one set. You can rest for a while and try getting to 30 repetitions in total.
