Purpose: Core strength
Quick Coaching Cues
- Keep the weight tight to your chest and brace your core before you come up. You can use a small metal plate or a dumbbell.
- Sit up with control and finish tall instead of collapsing forward.
- Lower back down slowly so the abs stay working the whole rep.
Common Mistakes
- Using momentum to swing up instead of controlling the sit-up.
- Letting the weight drift away from the chest and pull posture forward.
- Dropping back down too fast and losing core tension.
