Sit Up - Full
Lie down on your back with your knees in the air and your feet flat on the floor.
Place your hands to your temples and contract your stomach muscles so that your head, shoulders and upper back raise off the ground as they would with the crunch exercise. Go as high as you can using your stomach muscles and for the final part of the movement you will need to use your hip flexor muscles (situated at the top of your legs) to get you the rest of the way. Keep going up until your upper body is vertical, when you have reached this position slowly lower yourself back down until you are lying flat on the ground again.
If you find that your feet come up of the floor when you try this exercise then please feel free to wedge them under something that is fixed to the ground to help keep them in place.
