If you are doing sit-ups then stop because this method (as seen in the video above) will give you much faster results.

How many sets & reps?
You can do up to 5 sets of 5-to-10 reps holding each rep for 5-to-10 seconds and if 5-to-10 reps sounds too easy then you simply need to make this exercise more intense and you do that in 4 ways...

1. You can place your feet farther away from your body or...
2. You can place your arms over your head or...
3. You can hold a weight across your chest or wear a weight vest or...
4. You can take less rest or NO rest in between sets

For your workout nerds...

The reason why this sit-up technique is superior to the regular sit-up is that in the regular sit-up your hip flexors are the main prime mover meaning your hip flexors are getting a workout as you are sitting up & down while all your abs are doing is tightening up or stabilizing your core.

By doing sit-ups as described in the video you are doing the main function that your abs were meant to do which is to primarily tense up isometrically but instead of your abs only tensing up for a small amount of time doing regular sit-ups...

In this exercise your abs are under tension MUCH LONGER

  • Work out starts at 2:05 not sure if thumbs up work on this video but if you put me at the top it would make it easier for people to use is over and over.

  • I've watched quite a few exercise videos here on youtube, I do have to say, you educate and motivate like no other. I bought a pilates dvd awhile back and listening to her made me want to sleep so I just ended up writing the moves down on paper. I like the fact you make a connection with your viewers and genuinely help people like myself achieve realistic goals. I love your website too. You're one amazing person and I just wanted to tell you, thank you for all the videos you upload.
