Overview
The vertical leg raise on parallel bars is an exercise that targets the abdominal muscles, particularly the rectus abdominis or six-pack muscles. To do this exercise, you will need two parallel bars that are about shoulder-width apart. Start by hanging from the bars with your arms straight and your legs together. Then, slowly raise your legs up until they are parallel to the ground, keeping your back straight and your abs engaged. Hold this position for a second or two, then slowly lower your legs back down. Repeat this movement for the desired number of repetitions. This exercise is a great way to strengthen your abdominal muscles and improve your core strength.
