How to do Dumbbell Situp

  1. Lie on your back with knees bent at 90 degrees and feet flat on the floor or anchored under a pad.
  2. Hold a dumbbell against your chest with both hands, hugging it close to your sternum.
  3. Brace your core and tuck your chin slightly toward your chest before starting the rep.
  4. Sit all the way up by curling your torso forward until your elbows pass over your knees.
  5. Pause briefly at the top, keeping the dumbbell tight against your chest the whole time.
  6. Lower yourself back down slowly under control until your shoulder blades touch the floor.
