Can leg raises give you a six pack?

For hanging leg raises, aim for 2–3 sets of 6–10 repetitions, prioritizing maintenance of good technique throughout all sets and repetitions.

“Hanging leg raises primarily work the abdominals and hip flexors , and are a great addition to any fitness routine for overall core strength, spine health, and mobility,” says Mitchell Fischer, ACSM, trainer and weightlifting coach with Gold’s Gym.

There are so many ways to do hanging leg raises wrong but should you do it right, it will get you a six pack and even improve grip strength, as well as shoulder and back definition. Hanging leg raises are among the most potent exercises you should include in the best core workout.
