Sit Up

How to do it

1. Lie on your back with your knees bent, feet flat on the floor and arms crossed over your chest.
2. Exhale and curl your torso all the way up to sitting, chest toward your knees.
3. Lower yourself back down slowly, one vertebra at a time.
4. Lead with your chest instead of your neck, and hook your feet under something solid if they lift.

Warm up first and pick a weight you can control through the whole movement. Stop if something hurts.
