How to perform

  1. 1

    Secure your feet and lay back on the floor. Your knees should be bent. Hold a weight with both hands to your chest. This will be your starting position.

  2. 2

    Initiate the movement by flexing the hips and spine to raise your torso up from the ground.

  3. 3

    As you move up, press the weight up so that it is above your head at the top of the movement.

  4. 4

    Return the weight to your chest as you reverse the sit-up motion, ensuring not to go all the way down to the floor.

Important tips

  • Exhale on the effort — brace your abs before every rep.

  • Slow reps make the difference — abs hate momentum.

  • Keep your lower back glued to the floor where applicable.
