Sit-Up

Build core strength with this timeless abdominal exercise.

Sit-ups are one of the oldest and most recognizable ab movements — and they still work. FitnessTracker includes this bodyweight classic because it builds real strength in the abs, hips, and lower back, while improving posture and control.

Instructions

  1. Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet anchored under a stable object or held by a partner.
  2. Place your hands behind your head or cross them over your chest.
  3. Engage your abs and lift your upper body until your chest is near your knees.
  4. Slowly lower yourself back to the floor under control.
  5. Repeat for your desired number of reps, keeping each repetition smooth and steady.
