Frog Sit-Ups

Muscles worked

Main muscles
- Diaphragm
What it is
This abdominal exercise targets your core muscles effectively. You will perform a partial sit-up motion with your legs in a frog-like position, soles together. This unique setup helps isolate your abdominals for a focused contraction. It is an excellent movement for strengthening your midsection.
Technique tips
- Flatten your lower back into the floor when you lift.
- Keep your outer thighs grounded to maintain the diamond shape.
- Exhale as you curl your torso up; inhale as you slowly lower.
- Only lift your torso about a quarter of the way up.
- Engage your abdominal muscles before starting each repetition.
How to track your progress
Log reps, and add the extra load if you wear a belt or a vest. Straddly counts your bodyweight in the estimated max, so added weight and extra reps both show up as progress, and new records are flagged during the session.
