Position your feet flat on the floor, shoulder-width apart, and place your hands on your knees or thighs.
Slowly lower your body down, bending at the hips and knees, until you're sitting upright with your back straight and shoulders relaxed.
Keep your feet firmly planted on the floor, and ensure your knees are not extending past your toes.
Hold this position for a moment, then slowly rise back to a standing position, keeping your back straight and using your legs to lift you. Repeat this process for the desired amount of reps.
Pro Tip
Use Your Core: Another common mistake is using the neck or arms to pull yourself up, rather than engaging your core. To avoid this, cross your arms over your chest or place them behind your head without pulling on your neck. Focus on using your abdominal muscles to lift your upper body off the ground. Controlled Movements: Avoid rushing through the sit-ups. Performing the exercise too quickly can lead to improper form and potential injuries. Instead, focus on slow, controlled movements. Breathing: Remember to breathe! Inhale as you lower your body and exhale as you lift. Incorrect breathing can cause unnecessary strain on your body and reduce the effectiveness
