Sit-Up (Extended Arm)
How
to Do Extended Arm Sit-Ups
1.
Lie with your back flattened against the floor. Tighten your butt muscles
and tilt your pelvis to help you do this. Stretch your arms flat at your
sides, bend your knees and keep your feet flat on the floor.
2.
Using your upper abdominal muscles, raise your head and shoulders off
the floor. Extend your arms out to the front. Hold this position, using
your upper abs, for a count of 3. Then slowly lower your shoulders to
the floor in a smooth movement. Allow your shoulders to just touch the
floor, then repeat the whole movement.
