1441 Fitness Vertical Knee up FF47 for Core Strength Training and Abdominal Exercise, Non Skid and Challenging Knee Workout Equipment for Home & Gym.

DO IT CORRECTLY - Vertical knee raises can be performed on a dip/raise machine, a pullup bar, or parallel bars. The back support on dip/raise machines prevents your body from wobbling, enabling you to focus on executing the exercise correctly. With your legs right underneath your body, support yourself on the bars. Exhale and draw your knees up to your chest, bending them. When your thighs are parallel to the floor, keep going by rounding your back, contracting your waist, and bringing your knees up and in until they are almost touching your chest.

TARGET THE RECTUS ABDOMINIS - The rectus abdominis, a lengthy sheath of muscle that runs from your sternum to your hip, is targeted by the vertical knee raise. The rectus abdominis shows through if your body fat is low enough, revealing the coveted "six-pack." The rectus abdominis' principal role is spinal flexion, which involves pushing your ribs toward your hip bone, as in a normal floor crunch.

CONSIDER THE HIP FLEXORS - The rectus abdominis is not the main mover during the whole knee lift movement, contrary to common perception. The iliopsoas muscles, or hip flexors, are the major movers from the commencement of the action until your thighs are parallel to the floor. They are in charge of hip flexion, which involves pushing your thigh toward your body. During this portion of the exercise, the rectus abdominis is involved, but not as the major mover. It contracts isometrically to support the torso and pelvis against the weight of your legs, activating with no change in length.
