    There's a really funny news clip about swinging from the recent Canada 150 participation campaign and I clicked cause I was curious about just what type of swinging

    I'd assume you need to engage your core to perform these without swinging

    Keep everything tight and you won't swing. If your core is not tight you'll swing. That's actually the point of doing them, not the crunch part of it.

    I'd rather swing than do hanging leg raises but so far the wife says no swinging so hanging around lifting my legs up it is then.

    Just as important than a tight core, if not more so, is packing your shoulders and having the strength to maintain that.
