2. A partner holds your feet down firmly.

3. Then, perform as many correct sit-ups as possible.

4. In the up position, you should have your elbows come up over your knees and then descend

until your shoulder blades touch the floor.

5. Each time your elbows come up over your knees, that count as one.

6. Any resting must be done in the up position.
