Weighted Sit-Ups - With Bands

This sit-up variation incorporates resistance bands to make each rep more demanding, targeting your core with a higher intensity.

Instructions

1. Attach resistance bands to the base of a decline bench, with handles positioned inside the bench.
2. Lie down and secure your legs under the bench pads.
3. Grasp the band handles with a pronated grip and bring them near your collarbone using a neutral wrist position.
4. Without moving your arms, engage your core and lift your torso until perpendicular to the floor.
5. Hold briefly, then lower with control to the start position.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
