This sit-up is a popular exercise that targets the abdominal muscles. It is a great exercise for those who want to develop core strength and improve their overall fitness level. This exercise involves lying on your back with your knees bent and feet locked in a foot holder attachment, while holding a medicine ball over your head. By contracting your abdominal muscles, you lift your shoulders off the ground and roll towards your knees, all while keeping the medicine ball stable over your head. Here are the steps to properly perform a medicine ball overhead sit-up.
