Half Sit-up

Expert Advice

Ensure that you're not pulling on your neck with your hands; the lift should come from your core strength.

How-to-do Steps

  1. Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor.
  2. Place your hands behind your head or across your chest.
  3. Engage your abs and lift your torso up to about halfway to your knees.
  4. Hold the position briefly.
  5. Slowly return to the starting position.
  6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
