Instead of lowering your legs, hold this position with your knees raised.

Start by hanging on a pull-up bar with palms facing out, or use the ab straps and hang with your arms inside of them. Do use a box or bench if you need help reaching the bar.
Pull your shoulder blades down your back to keep your shoulders away from your ears.
Engage your abs as you simultaneously lift both knees up to your chest with control.
Lower the legs down slowly and return to the starting position. This completes one rep.
Do this exercise for 30 seconds.
Avoid swinging during this move to ensure that you're really working your abs.
If this move is too hard, you can do seated knee tucks or reverse crunches on the ground.

This is another challenging move. If you can't do it while hanging, try sitting on the edge of a bench and holding both legs up. If that is still too hard, you can extend one leg at a time. Another option is to sit on the edge of a bench and hold a knee tuck (both knees in at your chest).

Do this exercise for 30 seconds.

If this move is too hard, you can do a standard bicycle with a twist on the ground.

Start by hanging on a pull-up bar with palms facing out, or use the ab straps and hang with your arms inside of them. Use a box or bench if you need help reaching the bar.
Pull your shoulder blades down your back to keep your shoulders away from your ears.
Engage your abs as you bring your left knee up to your chest (or as high as it can go) with control. As you lower your left knee, repeat the same motion on the right side. This counts as one rep.
Complete 30 reps.
