Sit-up
Trunk EnduranceWHAT IS IT
The Sit-up is the most commonly logged core movement in hybrid training, usually performed over an AbMat for full range. Note that many HYROX coaches favour anti-flexion work instead, since the race rewards holding an upright torso rather than repeatedly bending it.
HOW TO DO IT CORRECTLY
- 1Lie on your back with knees bent and the soles of the feet together or flat.
- 2Place an AbMat under the lower back if you have one, to fill the lumbar gap.
- 3Reach the arms overhead and touch the floor behind you at the bottom.
- 4Sit all the way up and touch the floor in front of your feet.
- 5Lower under control back to the start rather than dropping down.
