Hanging Oblique Raise

Purpose of this exercise: TO STRENGTHEN THE ABDOMINALS and OBLIQUES

Your hip flexors are used to stabilize yourself in this exercise.

Technique

1.	Rest your elbows on the support pads. Elbows should be slightly in front of the body. Hold on to the handles.
2.	Bend at the hips and knees; bring them both to 90 degree angles. Do not arch your back. Twist your lower body to the right. This is the starting position.
3.	Flexing the left obliques and lower abs, lift the legs 8-10 inches, hold there for 1 count and then return to the starting position. Repeat on the opposite side (lift legs to the left).

CAUTIONS!!

• Be careful not to arch the back when lifting your legs.
• Try not to sling your legs up or use momentum to raise your legs.
