Janda Sit-Up

Body only Abdominals

The Janda Sit-Up is a strength movement that targets your abdominals. Here's how to do it with clean form.

How to do the Janda Sit-Up

  1. Lie on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the floor.
  2. Actively dig your heels into the floor to contract your hamstrings and glutes.
  3. Rise using only your abs — the hamstring contraction inhibits hip flexor involvement.
  4. Lower slowly under control, maintaining heel pressure throughout.
