Sit-ups are a powerful, dynamic exercise for your abdominals and hip flexors. With correct form, sit-ups are a fun and safe exercise to add to your routine.

How to do a Sit-Up
-Lie on your back on the floor, preferably on a Yoga mat.
-Bend your knees and place your feet flat on the floor, and have your knees spread to shoulder width.
-Place your fingertips on your ears, and open your elbows out wide to the side.
-Focus on using just the muscles of your stomach and bring your body off the ground to a 30-degree angle, breathe out as you sit up.
-Hold at the top of your upward motion for a one count, then using your stomach muscles, slowly bring your upper body back down to the floor. Inhale as you come down.
-While lowering your body down, your neck should not touch the mat, only your shoulders should touch the mat as you lower yourself.
-Make sure the upper back returns completely to the ground.

Tip-If you find it challenging to do a sit-up with your hands behind your neck then instead try crossing your arms in front of your chest and place your hands on your shoulders. Be sure to lower your upper back all the way to the ground after each rep.

How to do a push-up-

To perform a pushup:
-Start kneeling on the floor and bring your feet together behind you.
-Bend forward to position yourself in a high plank and bring your knees up with your feet together behind you. Your palms should be flat on the floor and hands shoulder-width apart. Your shoulders should be positioned over your hands. It is important that your feet are planted on the floor together behind you, your back should be flat and your abs should be tensed.
-Slowly lower your body toward the floor while keeping your head aligned with your spine.
-Continue to lower yourself until your chest or chin touch the ground.
-Press upward with your arms and continue pressing up until your arms are fully extended and you’re back in the plank.

If a full push up is too challenging try this-
Push up on your knees-
Start at the top of the push up position with your hands on the floor, arms straight and underneath your shoulders. Step your knees back behind you, with your knees on the floor. Engage your glutes, and tense your core to keep your body in place, then continue to do a regular push-up by lowering yourself until your chest or chin touch the ground and then pushing yourself back up.
