Leg raises on the dip bar

Stand upright at the parallel bars and position both of your forearms on the pads. Grip the handles firmly with your hands and elevate your body to an upright stance. Ensure that your legs and upper body form a straight line, while keeping your knees slightly bent to protect the joints. Direct your gaze forward, and your feet are already suspended in the air. Pay attention to keeping your legs parallel to each other.

Movement execution

Commence by initiating leg raises on the parallel bars, extending your legs upwards. During the upward motion, exhale and elevate your legs until they are roughly parallel to the ground, a slightly higher position is also permissible. Maintain tension in your upper body and abdomen, with the impetus originating exclusively from your legs. Now, take a brief pause and, while inhaling, return your legs to the initial position.
