Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Sit-up with Chair Assisted.
A classic abdominal exercise performed with the feet anchored under a chair for stability, allowing a full range of motion sit-up. The foot anchor reduces hip-flexor dominance and keeps focus on the abdominals throughout the movement.
The Sit-up with Chair Assisted is a foundational movement that builds strength and muscle through controlled, progressive overload. Train it 1 to 2 times per week with 3 to 5 working sets per session, gradually adding weight or reps as form holds up.
