Sit-Up (TRX / Suspension Trainer)

A core exercise where the body is partially suspended in TRX straps while performing a sit-up motion, reducing strain on the hip flexors while building abdominal strength.

Instructions

1. Sit facing the anchor point with feet under the anchor and knees bent
2. Grip the TRX handles and lean back slightly to create tension
3. Use your abdominals to sit up, bringing your chest toward your thighs
4. Keep your core engaged throughout the movement
5. Return to the starting position with control
6. Complete prescribed reps maintaining tension in the straps
7. Avoid using excessive arm pull to perform the movement

Tips

• Focus on core strength and abdominal activation
• The TRX reduces the strain on hip flexors compared to traditional sit-ups
• Keep tension in the straps throughout the movement
• Control the descent rather than using momentum
• The angle of lean determines difficulty; more lean equals harder
• This exercise builds core strength safely
