Sit-Up: how to do it

Lying on your back with the hands touching the floor behind the head, sit all the way up to touch the feet, then lie back until the shoulders touch.

NO EQUIPMENT

Step by step

  1. Butterfly feet, towel under the low back, hands touch the floor behind.

    01 Butterfly feet, towel under the low back, hands touch the floor behind.

    Avoid: crashing back down: the head and lower back take it, roll down slowly.

  2. Sit all the way up, torso tall, and touch the feet.

    02 Sit all the way up, torso tall, and touch the feet.

In short

  1. Soles together, knees out (butterfly), folded towel under the lower back
  2. Arms reach overhead to touch the floor behind
  3. Sit up tall and touch the feet

Common faults

  • Crashing back onto the floor: the head and lower back take the hit, roll down with control
  • Short reps, shoulders never reaching the floor: half the range, the rep does not count
