How to Do
How to Do Sit Up Ghd
The sit up ghd should begin with good posture to avoid injury. Brace the spine by drawing your lower abdomen inward. Your core muscles should be activated to support your posture as you perform the exercise.
If any pain is experienced, immediately stop the sit up ghd.
Beginning
Beginning Sit Up Ghd
1. The GHD's setup is critical. While sitting tall, make sure your butt is slightly off the circular pad, your feet are anchored, and your knees are slightly bent.
2. Start by lowering yourself to parallel and keeping your hands crossed and on your shoulders if you're new to the GHD sit-up or even warming up.
3. Maintain a firm butt and a strong core throughout the exercise to keep your rib cage in place. These two actions help to prevent hyperextension and significant harm to the low back. Limit your range of motion to one that is pain-free and more regulated if you have a history of back pain or injury.
Movement
Sit Up Ghd Movement
1. To get up from the GHD Sit-up, start with a strong downward locking motion of the knees. This maximizes quad hip flexor participation while minimizing deep hip flexor involvement and potential back pain.
2. Reach for the ground with one or both hands as you go to broader ranges of motion in the GHD Sit-up and contact the support post at the peak of the sit-up.
Benefits

GHD Sit Ups, or GHDSU for short, are an excellent core/abdominal workout that many people are unfamiliar with. It's a typical movement in Crossfit gyms that focuses on strengthening the abdomen and other front-of-the-body muscles (also known as the anterior chain).
