Instructions
1. Begin by lying on your back with your legs spread wide apart and your arms extended behind your head.
2. Engage your core to lift your upper body off the floor while keeping your legs flat on the ground. Bend at the waist and try to sit up as much as you can without straining your back.
3. As you sit up, bring your arms forward, keeping them aligned with your ears if possible. You should feel your abdominal muscles engage as you rise.
4. Once you have reached the top of the sit-up, slowly lower yourself back down to the starting position. Control the movement and avoid letting your body fall back quickly.
5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, ensuring that you maintain proper form throughout the set.
It is important to perform the exercise in a controlled manner to maximize its effectiveness and reduce the risk of injury. Remember to breathe evenly throughout the exercise—inhale as you go down and exhale as you come up.
