Resistance Band Sit Up

This one gives the classic sit-up a grizzly upgrade. The band adds steady tension, so your abs have to work harder from den floor to upright perch, building stronger core strength and staying power with every rep.

Instructions

1. Anchor the band securely near your feet.
2. Lie back and hold the band handles or ends.
3. Bend your knees and plant your feet flat.
4. Brace your core and curl your torso upward.
5. Pause briefly at the top position.
6. Lower yourself slowly back to the floor.
