Vertical Sit-up

Expert Advice

Ensure your back is flat against the bench and control your movement to prevent using momentum, which will help target your abs more effectively.

How-to-do Steps

  1. Lie on a vertical sit-up bench with your legs secured.
  2. Cross your arms over your chest or place your hands behind your head.
  3. Contract your abs to lift your upper body towards your knees.
  4. Slowly lower yourself back down to the starting position.
  5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
