Sit ups

An advanced exercise to strengthen the core muscles

Step 2

Lie on your back on an exercise mat or towel with your knees bent, making sure your feet are flat on the floor. Cross your arms over your chest or place your hands behind your ears to gently support your head.

Ensuring you keep your lower back in a neutral position at all times, tuck your chin towards your chest, tighten your tummy muscles and lift your shoulders and upper body off the floor. Lower in a controlled manner.

Concentrate on contracting your midsection throughout the movement.

Inhale to lower, exhale to curl up.
