The Frog Sit-Ups primarily works the abdominals. It is a strength movement that needs no equipment.
1 / 2How to
Movement instructions
Lie with your back flat on the floor (or exercise mat) and your legs extended in front of you.
Now bend at the knees and place your outer thighs by the floor (or mat) as you make the soles of your feet touch each other.
Now try pushing both soles and bringing them up as near you as possible while you keep the outer thighs on the floor (or at least almost touching it). Tip: In this position your legs should create a diamond shape.
Now, cross your arms in front of you by touching the opposite shoulders. This will be your starting position.
As you exhale flatten your lower back to the floor while curling the torso upwards. Tip: This will be like performing the first 1/4 movement of a sit up. Hold at the top position for a second.
As you inhale, slowly lower back to the starting position.
Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.

General guidance based on the exercise and equipment. It is not personal coaching or medical advice.
Your progress
Keep the same exercise variation, range of motion and recording method when comparing Frog Sit-Ups sessions.
Repetitions and completed sets.
Example: 10, 9 and 8 completed reps. Keep each set separate instead of recording only the total.
Compare repetitions using the same variation and range. A different variation needs its own history; extra reps are not directly comparable if the movement changes.
