Noam Tamir, the founder of TS Fitness in NYC: Breakdancer
Breakdancers, who are also called “sit-outs,” are something Tamir likes. He says, “The sit-up is a combination of flexibility, stability, strength, and coordination.” They work your arms, your glutes, and your whole core. Also, once you get the hang of it, you can start moving faster, making it a low-impact cardio move.
- Start by getting down on all fours with your hands under your shoulders and knees under your hips.
- Raise your knees just a little bit off the floor.
- Keeping your buttocks low, bring your right leg up under your torso and turn your body to the left. Hold your left arm out in front of you (as shown). When you get the hang of the move and want to test your balance even more, reach out with your right arm and tap your right foot.
- Flip around and perform the same thing on the opposite side.
Reps: Tamir suggests trying to do 15 reps on each side, switching back and forth, and 3 sets total.
