How to perform 3/4 Sit-Up

  1. Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet braced under a stable support.
  2. Place your hands lightly beside your head without pulling on your neck.
  3. Curl your trunk and bend at the hips to bring your torso toward upright.
  4. Lower your torso under control, stopping after roughly three quarters of the descent rather than resting flat.
  5. Begin the next repetition from that partially lowered position.
