Instructions
1. Begin by lying flat on your back with your knees bent and the soles of your feet together, allowing your knees to drop out to the sides in a "frog" position.
2. Stretch your arms overhead on the floor, keeping them in line with your body.
3. Engage your core and lift your head, shoulders, and upper back off the ground in a controlled sit-up motion while bringing your arms forward, reaching towards your feet. Your upper body should rise to approximately a half sit-up position.
4. Continue the motion, bringing your torso all the way up until you're nearly in a seated position, while reaching further toward or past your feet with your hands.
5. Slowly reverse the movement, returning to the half sit-up position, and finally lowering yourself back to the starting position with your arms stretched overhead.
6. Focus on engaging your core muscles throughout the movement and avoid using momentum to sit up.
7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions and sets. This exercise emphasizes the full range of motion of a sit-up while the "frog" leg position activates the adductors and challenges the core stability differently than a traditional sit-up.
