Assisted Sit-Up
The assisted sit-up is a core exercise that targets the abdominal muscles with support, making it easier to perform than a standard sit-up. Assistance can come from a bench, partner, or anchored feet, reducing the strength and coordination required.
Step-by-Step Form & Technique
- 1.Sit on the edge of a bench or have someone hold your feet down.
- 2.Lie flat on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground.
- 3.Place your hands behind your head with your elbows pointing outwards.
- 4.Engaging your abs, slowly lift your upper body off the ground, curling forward until your torso is at a 45-degree angle.
- 5.Pause for a moment at the top, then slowly lower your upper body back down to the starting position.
- 6.Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
