Dumbbell Sit-Up

Abs Dumbbell

Description

The dumbbell sit-up is a core-strengthening exercise that adds resistance to traditional sit-ups by holding a dumbbell. Individuals lie on their back with their knees bent and feet flat on the ground, holding a dumbbell securely, then performing a sit-up motion by engaging the abdominal muscles to lift the torso towards the knees. This exercise increases the intensity of the sit-up, helping to build stronger abdominal muscles and improve core stability when performed with proper form and control.

How To

01 Lie back, knees bent, dumbbell held at your chest
02 Brace your core with feet anchored flat
03 Sit up, driving your torso toward your knees
04 Exhale hard as you come up
05 Lower slow and controlled, then repeat
