Exercise Description

The elbow to knee sit up builds core strength while working your abs and obliques. It's a great bodyweight move that targets multiple muscle groups at once.

How To

1. Lie on your back with hands behind your head and knees bent at 90 degrees 2. Lift your shoulders off the ground and bring your right elbow toward your left knee 3. Squeeze your abs tight as you perform the elbow to knee sit up movement 4. Lower back down with control and repeat on the opposite side 5. Keep alternating sides for your elbow to knee sit up reps

Form Tips

• Keep your core tight throughout the entire elbow to knee sit up movement • Don't pull on your neck - let your abs do the work • Focus on bringing your elbow to your knee, not just lifting your shoulders • Control the movement during each elbow to knee sit up rep

Common Mistakes

• Pulling on your neck instead of using your core muscles during the elbow to knee sit up • Moving too fast and losing control of the movement • Not fully engaging your abs during each elbow to knee sit up rep
