Start by hanging with an overhand grip, spaced at roughly shoulder width apart.

With your legs straightened, raise them up to be level with the hips, then in a controlled manner lower them back to the start position. Brace your core to keep a steady torso and to raise your legs in a smooth motion. Repeat for the desired repetitions.

Avoid allowing the body sway or using excessive momentum.
