Sit-ups with a partner
Partner Sit-Ups are particularly recommended for beginners who require assistance with their exercise execution. While this method is replaced by a different technique in the routines of experienced athletes due to lower intensity, it is a valuable addition to the training plans of novices. In this section, you will find all the necessary information regarding proper body positioning and execution.
Body position
For Partner Sit-Ups, begin by lying on your back on the floor. Your legs should be slightly bent, similar to the classic variation. Cross your arms in front of your chest. Your training partner, who is kneeling in front of you, uses both hands to stabilize your feet on the floor, providing you with more support.
Movement execution
You can now start the exercise by exhaling and raising your upper body. Keep your back mostly straight and maintain a moderate pace of execution. Stop when your body is nearly upright. Then slowly return to the initial lying position, taking deep breaths.
