Weighted Sit Ups This exercise is a more difficult and effective version of the standard sit up. And with plenty of increasingly difficult versions, anyone can get a good workout.
Description
  1. Lay down on your back (Or on a bench), bend your knees so that your feet are flat on the floor, and hold your feet down (Either a partner or weight can be used to do this).
  2. Hold an exercise ball on the floor above your head.
  3. Flex your abs and pull your body upward, moving the towards a position in front of your face.
  4. Lower back to the original position.

Alternate Ball Throw Version:

  1. In this variation, have a spotter stand facing you at your feet.
  2. In your upward motion, throw the ball to your spotter.
  3. Your spotter will then throw the ball back to you on the way downward.
    Things to Keep in Mind
