The sit-up with chair assistance targets the core muscles, primarily the rectus abdominis. This variation provides additional support by anchoring the feet under the chair, allowing for a more controlled movement and reducing strain on the lower back.

How to do it

  1. Lie on your back with knees bent and feet under a chair for support.
  2. Cross your arms over your chest.
  3. Engage your core, lift your upper body towards your knees.
  4. Slowly lower back down to the starting position.
  5. Repeat for desired number of repetitions.
