Sit-Ups
Todays exercise is the bog standard sit-up, the most basic of all the core exercises.
Lie flat on the ground, (use a mat to protect the coccyx) knees bent with your feet flat on the floor, hands behind head or at temples, raise the torso upwards rounding your shoulders at the top of the movement, exhale with the exertion and return to the start position, but to make it that little more challenging don't touch the ground.
Getting a partner to hold your feet makes it easier, as does bringing your hands forward.
Holding your hands above your head and keeping them there throughout the movement makes it harder.
This exercise works mainly the rectus abdominis, but also hits the obliques and hip flexors.
