How to perform Band-Assisted Sit-Up

1. Secure a long loop band to a stable anchor in front of where you will sit.
2. Sit on the floor and hold the band between your legs, with light tension in the upright position.
3. Keep your feet on the floor as you roll your torso down under control.
4. Curl your torso upward and continue toward sitting, allowing the band to assist rather than jerking yourself forward.
5. Return slowly, keeping control as the band stretches.
6. Repeat without using a sudden pull of the arms to replace the trunk movement.
