Leg raises. You need to hang on the crossbar. As you exhale, slowly raise your legs as straight as you can, tightening your abdominal muscles. At the extreme point, fix your legs for a couple of seconds and slowly lower them. You need to specifically engage the abdominal muscles, not the thigh muscles. Deflections in the body are not allowed. If the exercise seems simple, you can hold a dumbbell between your legs or use special weights.

Lateral leg raises. The situation is similar. Raise your legs alternately: left to the left, and right to the right. The limbs should be straight; hold them for a few seconds at the maximum point.
