The Flexion Leg Sit Up with Bent Knee is an abdominal exercise that targets the rectus abdominis muscle (the "six-pack" muscle). This exercise is performed lying on the back with the knees bent and the feet flat on the floor.
How to perform
Here are step by step instructions for performing the Flexion Leg Sit Up with Bent Knee:1. Lie on your back on an exercise mat or flat surface with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor. Your arms should be crossed over your chest.
2. Engage your core muscles by drawing your belly button towards your spine.
3. Slowly lift your upper body off the floor, keeping your chin tucked towards your chest and your elbows pointing out to the sides.
4. Exhale as you lift your body up, using your abdominal muscles to perform the movement.
5. Continue lifting until your shoulders are off the floor or as high as you can comfortably go.
6. Hold the position at the top for a moment, then slowly lower back down to the starting position with control, inhaling as you lower.
7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
It's important to keep your movements slow and controlled throughout the exercise to ensure proper form and engagement of the abdominal muscles. Start with a small number of repetitions and gradually increase as your core strength improves. And remember to always listen to your body and stop if you feel any pain or discomfort.
