Sit-up, Abmat

Video coming soon...

The Sit-up, Abmat workout primarily engages the Abs, using the bodyweight as resistance.

Secondary muscles are involved to a lesser extent, supporting the core during the exercise.

Lie down on your back on a flat surface, such as a mat or the floor.
Bend your knees and place your feet flat on the ground, hip-width apart.
Place an Abmat or a folded towel underneath your lower back, just above your tailbone.
Place your hands behind your head, fingertips lightly touching the sides of your head.
Engage your core muscles and lift your upper body off the ground, curling towards your knees.

Start by lying on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. This position will engage your abs right from the beginning.
Place the Abmat under your lower back to provide support and maintain proper form throughout the exercise.
Keep your hands lightly touching the sides of your head or crossed over your chest. Avoid pulling on your neck, as this can strain your muscles.
Engage your core by exhaling and curling your upper body off the floor, bringing your chest towards your knees. Focus on using your abs to initiate the movement.
Pause briefly at the top of the movement, squeezing your abs for an extra challenge. This will help to strengthen and tone your abdominal muscles.
Control the descent by inhaling and slowly lowering your upper body back to the starting position. Avoid letting gravity do the work for you.
Repeat the exercise for the desired number of repetitions, aiming for quality over quantity. Focus on engaging your abs throughout the entire range of motion.
