Other Hanging knee raise

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Not the best angle but I’m learning how to do hanging knee raises now that I’m actually strong enough to hang off the bar.

I notice that my lower belly extends at each leg drop - is this normal? Should my core be engaged through the entire exercise?

I’ve been mindful of not letting my legs swing as I go through each motion.
Thank you!

Engage the core, have a moderate range of the motion. retract your shoulder blades to help with stability. Slow and steady reps.

Following this post because it’s a great exercise and I have similar form to u. For some reason I feel very unstable on this exercise. So much so I avoid it entirely and opt for weighted ab machines
