Hanging Windshield Wipers
How to do it
- Hang from a bar with an overhand grip, shoulders pulled down away from your ears.
- Raise your legs together until they point at the ceiling, or as high as you can control.
- Keeping them together, rotate your legs to one side like a windscreen wiper.
- Sweep them across to the other side under control.
- If you swing rather than rotate, bend your knees and shorten the arc.
