What is arms-high partial sit up.?

Arms-high partial sit ups are a type of abdominal exercise that focus on the upper abdominals.

To perform an arms-high partial sit up, begin by lying flat on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Place your hands behind your head with your elbows pointing out to the sides and lift your shoulders and upper back off the ground, keeping your elbows pointing straight ahead. Hold for a few seconds, then slowly lower yourself back down to the starting position.

This exercise targets the rectus abdominis, the large muscle that runs down the front of the abdomen. It also engages the obliques and hip flexors to a lesser extent.

Arms-high partial sit ups can be done with body weight only, or with the addition of weights or resistance bands for added difficulty. They are a great addition to any ab workout routine and can be modified to meet the needs of individuals at all fitness levels.
