Arms Overhead Full Sit-Up

How to perform

To perform the Arms Overhead Full Sit-Up:

1. Lie flat on your back on a mat with your arms extended overhead.
2. Bend your knees and place your feet flat on the floor about hip-width apart.
3. Engage your core muscles and slowly lift your upper body off the floor, reaching your hands towards the ceiling.
4. Keep your back straight and use your abdominal muscles to lift yourself up until your torso is perpendicular to the floor.
5. Slowly lower yourself back down to the starting position with control.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

To make the exercise more challenging, you can hold a weight plate or dumbbell in your hands or extend your arms straight out in front of you instead of overhead. Remember to maintain proper form throughout the exercise and avoid pulling on your neck or using momentum to lift yourself up.
