The Front Lever Reps exercise is a challenging bodyweight exercise that targets the core, back, and shoulders. It involves hanging from a horizontal bar and lifting the body into a horizontal position with the arms straight.
How to perform
To perform the Front Lever Reps exercise, follow these step-by-step instructions:1. Find a horizontal bar that is high enough off the ground for you to hang from with fully extended arms.
2. Grip the bar with an overhand grip, hands shoulder-width apart.
3. Hang from the bar with your arms fully extended and your body hanging vertically.
4. Engage your core and back muscles and slowly begin to lift your legs and lower body up towards the bar, keeping your body in a straight line.
5. Continue lifting until your body is in a horizontal position with your arms fully extended and parallel to the ground. Hold this position for a few seconds.
6. Slowly lower your body back down to the starting position with control.
7. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.
It is important to maintain proper form throughout the exercise, keeping your body in a straight line and engaging the core and back muscles to prevent swinging or kipping. As this is a challenging exercise, start with a few reps and gradually increase as you build strength and endurance.
