We talk a lot about core strength on the fitness side of Tom’s Guide, so you might assume my abs are carved from steel thanks to all the workouts and expert advice I try. The truth is, I have always found core exercises a bit boring. But to stay strong for the activities I actually enjoy, like running marathons, strength training and hiking, a solid core is essential.
That is why I was thrilled when I discovered an exercise I actually enjoy, and that feels like it is making a real difference: hanging knee raises. You hang from a pull-up bar and lift your knees up and down for a set of reps or a timed set. Sounds simple on paper, right?
