Dumbbell Straight Arm Twisting Sit-up

Expert Advice

Ensure you twist fully to engage your obliques, but maintain control to prevent any strain on your lower back.

How-to-do Steps

  1. Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor, holding a dumbbell with both hands straight above your chest.
  2. Perform a sit-up, keeping your arms straight and the dumbbell overhead.
  3. At the top of the sit-up, twist your torso to the right, moving the dumbbell towards the right side.
  4. Return to the center and slowly lower back down to the starting position.
  5. Repeat the movement, this time twisting to the left side.
  6. Continue alternating sides for the desired number of repetitions.
