How to: Band push sit up
- Attach a resistance band to a secure point behind you.
- Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor.
- Hold the ends of the band with your hands resting behind your head.
- Engage your core and lift your upper body towards your knees, dragging the band with you.
- Control your descent back to the starting position and repeat.
Common Mistakes
- Using momentum to complete the sit-up rather than engaging the core muscles.
- Not maintaining proper alignment of the neck and back.
- Focusing too much on pulling with the arms instead of using the core.
Modifications
- Perform the exercise without a band if resistance is too high.
- Modify the range of motion by coming up only halfway.
Tips
- Ensure your back remains flat against the mat while performing the sit-up.
- Engage your core throughout the movement to maximize effectiveness.
- Control your movements to avoid using momentum.
