The use of a partial sit-up is used for those that are experiencing back pain. Performing this modified
form of a sit up puts less stress on the low back, while still allowing the
muscles to be worked.

How to perform the exercise:

• Start like a regular sit-up with your back on the floor
  
• Both of your feet should be on the floor with your knees bent
  
• Raise your head,neck and shoulders off of the floor
  • Try and hold that position for a few seconds
• Repeat the exercise as many times as you can or prompted by a personal trainer.

This exercise will help to strengthen you core and is simple to do at home.
