The Sit-up test measures the strength and endurance of your abdominal muscles. In general, the stronger your abs are, the more they can support your torso and the less likely you are to have lower back pain.
Are you aiming for that so-called six-pack? That is of course a nice goal, but for that you need very strongly developed abdominal muscles in combination with very little belly fat. Some can do dozens of sit-ups but don’t always have the nicely defined muscles. This is because they are hidden behind a layer of belly fat that you can only get rid of by combining sports with a healthy diet.
How do you perform the sit-up test?
- Lie on the floor with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor.
- Raise your head, chest and shoulder and bring your hands to your knees. Your hands should touch the top of the knees.
- Come back down and repeat this exercise for one minute.
- Your score is the number of repetitions in a minute.
