Dumbbell Sit Up

This dumbbell exercise is a variation or a progression of the normal body weight sit-up exercise. This targets the same muscles: the rectus abdominis, and the hip flexors. With the added resistance, this exercise is a bit more challenging resulting in stronger abs.

• This exercise targets mainly the rectus abdominis muscles.
• This exercise also targets the hip flexors.
• This will help on improving overall ab and hip flexor strength.

• This exercise is not recommended to individuals whose core is not that strong.
• This is definitely not recommended to beginners.
• Proper progression is required to avoid back injuries.
