Exercise Profile

Sit-up Floor Tap, Abmat Overview

The Sit-up floor tap is a bodyweight exercise that primarily engages the abdominal muscles.

By using the bodyweight as resistance, this workout targets the rectus abdominis and obliques.

The Abmat provides support for the lower back, allowing for a full range of motion.

While other muscles may be activated, the focus remains on the core, avoiding overstating auxiliary muscle engagement.

  3. Engage your core muscles by pulling your belly button in towards your spine.
  4. Slowly lift your upper body off the floor, curling your spine and bringing your chest towards your knees.
  5. At the top of the movement, tap your fingertips to the floor in front of your feet.

Sit-up Floor Tap, Abmat Tips

  1. Position yourself on the floor with your knees bent, feet flat on the ground, and your Abmat placed just above your tailbone. This will provide support to your lower back and allow for a greater range of motion.
  2. Engage your core by drawing your belly button in towards your spine. This will help you maintain proper form throughout the exercise and target your abdominal muscles effectively.
  3. As you perform the Sit-up, focus on using your abdominal muscles to lift your upper body off the ground. Avoid using momentum from your arms or pulling on your neck, as this can strain your muscles and lead to poor form.
  4. At the top of the movement, tap your fingers to the floor just in front of your feet. This will ensure that you are fully engaging your abdominal muscles and reaching the desired range of motion.
  5. Control the descent back to the starting position, engaging your abs to resist gravity. Keep your core tight and maintain a slow and controlled movement to maximize the benefits of the exercise.
