Here is how not to do a sit up. This video clip is a commercial to inform children of fitness test retakes. Performed by Nick Kosiak from Wheeling High School. Apparently the footage is not sped up, only slowed down at certain points to show Nick’s awkward sit-up technique.

Here is a group of students performing the one minute sit up test. They are using the technique of having their feet held down (using something attached to the wall) and their arms across their chest. As you can see, it can be difficult to see what is a valid sit up, and also the erratic movements are potentially dangerous.
