Isometric Sit-up
Online Personal Trainer - An excellent exercise for core stability, however this one requires the hip flexors to be contracted during the entire movement making it very important that this movement be performed under the guidance of a qualified personal trainer.
Hold your torso at about a 45 degree angle as though you were performing a sit-up, bend your knees at a 90 degree angle, and lift your feet a few inches off of the ground. Hold this position without letting your arms or hands touch your legs or the floor. When you get strong enough that you can hold this position for longer than the length of time prescribed by your workout program, start holding a small weight plate behind your head during the exercise. As you get stronger, continue to increase the weight just as you would on any other exercise.
As always, we do not recommend performing any exercise without the supervision of a highly qualified Dallas personal trainer. This exercise description is for informational purposes only.
