Vertical Sit-Up
An upside-down sit-up: hanging head-down with the knees hooked over the rollers of a vertical station, curl the chest up toward the knees and lower.
How to do it
Setup
Knees hooked over the rollers at the top of a vertical sit-up station, hanging head down, fingertips behind the head.
Steps
- Curl the chest up toward the knees.
- Pause at the top without pulling on the head.
- Lower slowly back to the full hang.
Common mistakes
Swinging to get up: start each rep from a still hang. Knees slipping on the rollers: lock them over the pads before every set. Staying upside down too long: come down between sets.
Breathing
Exhale curling up, inhale lowering.
