Band Push Sit-Up
The band push sit-up is a band exercise that targets the abs, with the shoulders and chest assisting.
How to do the band push sit-up
- Attach the band securely to a stable anchor point.
- Lie flat on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground.
- Hold the band with both hands and extend your arms straight up towards the ceiling.
- Engaging your abs, slowly lift your upper body off the ground, curling forward until your torso is at a 45-degree angle.
- Pause for a moment at the top, then slowly lower your upper body back down to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Sets and reps
Start with 3 sets of 10–15 reps, resting 45–60 seconds. When every set feels easy, add reps, slow the lowering phase or move to a harder variation.
Muscles worked
The main muscle is the abs. The shoulders and chest work as secondary muscles. See all ab exercises or every resistance band exercise.
