Quarter sit-ups focus on engaging the abdominal muscles with slight elevation of the torso from a supine position. This exercise enhances core strength and stability, crucial for maintaining good posture and reducing back pain. It is a beginner-friendly move that targets the rectus abdominis without the strain of full sit-ups.

How to do it

  1. Lie on your back with legs extended and arms by your sides.
  2. Engage your core to slightly lift your head and shoulders off the ground.
  3. Hold for a moment at the top, ensuring the lower back remains in contact with the floor.
  4. Slowly lower back down to the starting position.
  5. Repeat for desired repetitions.
