sit-up (exercise)

The sit-up is a strength training exercise. To perform it, a person lies down on the floor with their knees bent, and then sits up without moving their knees. It is intended to work the abdominal muscles, but it also utilises the hip flexors. The hands are placed behind the head or across the chest. The sit-up places considerable stress on the lower back vertebrae, so individuals who experience lower back pain should perform the crunch instead.
