Hold a dumbbell out in
front of you with straight arms as you sit-up. Alternatively, hold two dumbbells, one in each hand with your arms straight out in front of you. The two dumbbells challenges your abs with a
sit-up and forces you to brace your entire core and arm muscles to balance
during the action.
Another option to activate the obliques is to hold one dumbbell in each hand. As you sit-up, punch your right arm across your body and crunch up towards the left side. Lower back down and repeat on the other side.
