Hi! My name is Corey Beasley, owner of DNA Fitness. Just going to run through a few basic movements, variations in the sit-up. Couple things out front, if you do have low back issues and any other thing going on in yours lower back, I would not recommend to do these movements. For the rest of us, for the general public, lot of grapplers, wrestlers, different people like that, these are phenomenal movements. We’re going to start off with just a basic sit up. Feet out, knees bent, and you’re going to lower yourself back down to the ground, sit all the way up, and back down. Exhale on the way up, breathe out. If you want to make it harder, take your hands from here, and put them back behind your head. If you want to make to harder, you put your hands out all over your head, come down, and exhale on the way up. One variation from here, you’re going to come all the way back down. You’re going to pivot on your elbow. If you’re looking at me from the side, as I come up I’m pivoting on his elbow, back down, up on to the other elbow. If you’re looking at me from the front, coming up, constant movement, side-to-side, coming up. Last one, you’re going to have your feet out straight, legs flat, coming all the way down. You’re going to come up, hands and knees together coming up. If you look at it from the side, come all the way flat, coming up, grabbing my own knees, coming back down. There are a few different variations of the sit-up, gives you some strength from the ground, prefect for grapplers, and wrestlers. Again, if you do have any back pain this is something you want to avoid completely.
