Steps

  1. 1 Start by hanging from a pull-up bar with an overhand grip, hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, and your body fully extended.
  2. 2 Engage your core and bring both knees up towards your chest, keeping them together.
  3. 3 From this tucked position, rotate your hips and legs to one side, as if lifting your legs over an imaginary hurdle.
  4. 4 Extend your legs straight out to the side, keeping them elevated and parallel to the floor, maintaining the 'hurdle' position.
  5. 5 Bring your extended legs back to the center, still elevated, and then slowly lower them to the starting hanging position.
  6. 6 Repeat the movement on the opposite side, alternating sides with each repetition.
