Assisted Sit-Up

Expert Advice

Engage your core and avoid pulling on your neck with your hands; use your abdominal muscles to lift your torso.

How-to-do Steps

  1. Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor or secured under a support.
  2. Cross your arms over your chest or place your hands behind your ears without pulling on your neck.
  3. Tighten your abdominal muscles and lift your upper body towards your knees, keeping your lower back on the floor.
  4. Rise up until your elbows or chest touch your knees.
  5. Slowly lower back down to the starting position.
  6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
