Sit-ups

The sit-up is a movement for strengthening abdominal muscles. We tend to forget some of the basics when performing these. Start by lying with your back flat on the floor. You may choose to use an AbMat if you have one available. Place your shoulder blades flat against the ground. You can bend your knees at 90 degrees or place the soles of the feet together. You can even lay with your legs stretched out. You may keep your hands at the sides of your head, cross them in front of your chest, or use them for momentum to lift forward. Your preference will largely depend on your core strength and the number of repetitions you plan to perform. Whatever your style, the most important thing to remember is to engage your core while you lift up and to keep your back straight. Look for this movement in Wednesday's workout.
