How to Do

How to Do Sit Up

The sit up should begin with good posture to avoid injury. Brace the spine by drawing your lower abdomen inward. Your core muscles should be activated to support your posture as you perform the exercise.

If any pain is experienced, immediately stop the sit up.

Beginning

Beginning Sit Up

1. Sit-ups are most effective when performed on a soft surface, such as a mattress. Maintain a 90-degree angle with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor.

2. You should have your elbows bent and pointing out to the sides. When doing sit-ups, cupping the back of your ears with your fingertips rather than placing them on the back of your head can help you from pushing yourself up by your neck.

3. Keep your feet flat on the floor and move in a smooth, steady pace. Your lower back should be off the floor once you've finished elevating your torso.

Movement

Sit Up Movement

1. On your back, lie down.

2. To stabilize your lower body, bend your legs and plant your feet firmly on the ground.

3. Without pushing on your neck, cross your hands to opposing shoulders or rest them behind your ears.

4. Curl your upper body up toward your knees as far as you can. As you rise, exhale.

5. Slowly lower yourself back to your starting position. As you lower, take a deep breath in.
