QUARTER SIT-UP
Quarter Sit-Up
The Quarter Sit-Up is a simple, yet effective exercise that targets your abdominal muscles, helping to strengthen and tone your core. This exercise is a great alternative to traditional sit-ups, which can put a lot of strain on your neck and lower back.
How to do Quarter Sit-Ups:
- Lie down on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor.
- Place your hands behind your head, but avoid pulling on your neck.
- Slowly raise your upper body towards your knees, stopping just before your shoulders touch your knees.
- Lower your upper body back down to the starting position, but don’t let your back touch the floor.
- Repeat the movement for the desired number of reps.
