Medicine ball sit-ups are a good way to develop strength for your mid section. You will also use your hip flexors. These medicine ball sit-ups are a great way to work your chest, arms and shoulders while you work your abs. The throwing element helps to increase your strength and also adds a cardio element to this exercise.
To do a Medicine Ball Sit-up you will sit on the floor with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor. You will start without the medicine ball and do a sit up. When in the upper most position you will catch the ball. As you go back down to the floor you will lower the medicine ball to your chest. As your back touches the floor you will sit back up and push the medicine ball up towards the ceiling and throw it to your workout partner. You will then do another sit-up without the ball and repeat.
It is possible to perform this exercise without a partner by thowing the ball up in the air and then catching it. You will have to eliminate the sit-up without the medicine ball.
