The weighted sit up is a more advanced version of the classic sit up, that introduces additional weight to make the exercise harder.
How to perform a Weighted Sit Up:
Lie on your back on the floor with your legs bent at the knee at a 90 degree angle. Hold a weight on your chest with your arms crossed over the weight to hold it in place.
Lift your upper body off the floor by contracting your abdominal muscles.
Continue lifting your upper body until you are sitting straight up.
Lower yourself down so you are back in position 1.
