Step 1)
The proper start position for a sit up is to lie on your back,
with your knees bent, and your heels flat on the ground. Position
your hands behind your ears. (See Figure 1)
Step 2) Draw in your stomach,
gently tightening your abdominal muscles. (See Figure 1) |
 |
Step 5) Pause in this
position for a moment, then slowly lower your torso back until
it is slightly elevated off the ground. (See Figure 2)
Keeping your back arched but relaxed, repeat steps 2,
3, and 4. If you are a beginner, do this two or three times, then
slowly add the number of repetitions as you get stronger. |
