What does SITUP mean in Scrabble?
noun
An exercise in which a person lying on the back raises the torso to a sitting position and then lowers it again, done to strengthen the abdominal muscles.
A situp starts with the exerciser flat on the back, knees usually bent and feet anchored or braced, before the torso curls upward toward the thighs and then lowers back down under control. Physical education classes and fitness routines have used the situp for decades as a simple way to work the abdominal muscles without any special equipment. Trainers have increasingly questioned the traditional straight-leg situp, noting that bending the knees reduces strain on the lower back compared with the older style. Counting repeated situps remains a common way to measure core strength in fitness tests and military training programmes.
