situps

“Exhale when you exert” is the rule of thumb to remind you of the proper breathing technique while doing sit-ups. That means, as you exert your upper body, lifting it up off the floor, you should be exhaling. For added muscle recruitment, exhaling forcefully as you exert, even pausing for a moment at the top of the sit-up, involves maximal abdominal muscle fiber involvement as they contract to help the lungs expel the air.
