The Full Body Sit Up With a Body Bar
The full body sit up with a body bar is a useful way to incorporate weight into your ab workouts. Begin by sitting on a workout bench, holding a light weight body bar in your hands. Place your legs out in front of you so that they are touching. They should be straight and parallel to the ground. Hold the body bar a few inches from your chest. Now let your torso recline until it is about 6 inches from the floor and push the body bar over your head. Then, bring your torso up and forward again and push the body bar down toward your toes. Your torso should be almost touching the tops of your legs at this point. Repeat these movements for 2 sets of 12 repetitions.
