Sit-up

How to do it

1. Lie face up with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor.
2. Cross your arms over your chest or place your hands at your temples.
3. Lift your whole torso up to a seated position by bracing your core.
4. Lower under control, rolling down vertebra by vertebra to the floor.
5. Keep a steady pace without yanking your neck.

Common mistakes

• Pulling on your head with your hands
• Using momentum instead of your core
• Letting your feet lift off the floor on the way up
