exercise tips on sit ups

No equipment needed!

No Gym needed!

Lie down on the floor with your legs bent from the hips 90 degrees in the air
Ensure your lower back does not have an arch in it ( sometimes a slight arch is normal)
Hand to your temples, arms open at all times like a butterfly
Take a deep breathe in and suck your belly towards the floor and hold
When you crunch, slow and controlled
Imagine an apple or orange resting in between your chest and chin,keep facing the ceiling.
Only your upper half from shoulders to mid torso should be lifted
Hold in the air for a couple of seconds
after a few you should be feeling your abs drastically

Always remember to breathe out on the effort as you come up and breathe in as you go down, this helps with blood flow and oxygen in the blood to circulate.

Drink plenty of water,sipping through out your works outs.

complete at least 4 sets of 20 sit ups for the first couple of weeks. You will defiantly be feeling an ache the next day. NO PAIN NO GAIN! Then the 3rd week up the set to 5 sets of 20.

Happy Exercising!

Let me know how you guys get on
