Suspender Sit-Up
Description
The suspender sit-up uses a TRX or suspension trainer with the feet hooked into the foot cradles. The slightly raised foot position provides resistance and engages the core stabilizers more than a floor sit-up. It is a great sit-up variation that builds total ab strength.
