Preparing for your Sit Ups

Lift Bible Tips for the 3/4 Sit Up
Sit Ups utilise multiple muscles, although it’s important to note that you can’t spot reduce stomach fat with these. Our main tip for this exercise is to ensure you keep your feet planted on the floor, which will allow focus on your abs.
It’s also important not to swing yourself up with your arms, as this will take away any pressure from your abs, and cancel any gains from the exercise.
