WEBVTT 00:04.730 --> 00:06.841 The one minute setup is an assessment 00:06.841 --> 00:08.841 of core endurance . Begin by laying 00:08.841 --> 00:11.140 face up on the floor or mat . Your feet 00:11.140 --> 00:13.251 may extend off the floor or mat , but 00:13.251 --> 00:15.307 your buttocks , shoulders , and head 00:15.307 --> 00:18.569 must not extend beyond the mat . Bend 00:18.569 --> 00:20.791 your knees at 90 degrees with your feet 00:20.791 --> 00:22.902 or heels in contact with the floor at 00:22.902 --> 00:25.013 all times . Cross your arms over your 00:25.013 --> 00:27.125 chest with your open hands or fingers 00:27.125 --> 00:29.347 at your shoulders or rest on your upper 00:29.347 --> 00:31.569 chest . This is the starting position . 00:31.700 --> 00:33.811 When conducting sit-ups , any part of 00:33.811 --> 00:35.978 the hands or fingers remain in contact 00:35.978 --> 00:38.033 with the shoulders or upper chest at 00:38.033 --> 00:39.811 all times . You may request the 00:39.811 --> 00:41.922 assessor to hold your feet with their 00:41.922 --> 00:44.144 hands or by putting their knees on your 00:44.144 --> 00:46.311 feet . The assessor may not anchor you 00:46.311 --> 00:45.799 by holding behind the calves or by 00:45.799 --> 00:47.632 standing on your feet during the 00:47.632 --> 00:49.966 assessment . From the starting position , 00:49.966 --> 00:51.855 raise your upper torso until your 00:51.855 --> 00:53.855 elbows touch your knees or thighs . 00:53.855 --> 00:56.021 Then lower your upper torso until your 00:56.021 --> 00:55.990 shoulder blades contact the floor . 00:56.169 --> 00:58.819 This is one repetition . Your elbows 00:58.819 --> 01:00.986 must touch your knees or thighs at the 01:00.986 --> 01:03.097 top of the sit-up , and your shoulder 01:03.097 --> 01:05.319 blades must contact the floor or mat at 01:05.319 --> 01:04.980 the bottom of the sit-up . The 01:04.980 --> 01:07.202 repetition will not count if your hands 01:07.202 --> 01:09.258 or fingers come completely away from 01:09.258 --> 01:11.202 the chest or shoulder , or if your 01:11.202 --> 01:13.258 buttocks or heels leave the ground . 01:13.258 --> 01:15.313 Additionally , you may not grab onto 01:15.313 --> 01:14.970 your shirt as it makes it difficult to 01:14.970 --> 01:17.192 determine if you are maintaining proper 01:17.192 --> 01:19.303 contact . While resting , you may not 01:19.303 --> 01:21.248 use knees or any object to support 01:21.248 --> 01:23.192 yourself . If there is any resting 01:23.192 --> 01:25.192 other than in the up position , the 01:25.192 --> 01:24.889 sit-up portion of the assessment is 01:24.889 --> 01:27.111 terminated and your score will be based 01:27.111 --> 01:28.945 on the correct number of sit-ups 01:28.945 --> 01:31.056 performed up to that point . You have 01:31.056 --> 01:33.167 one minute to perform as many correct 01:33.167 --> 01:35.333 sit-ups as you are able . Your counter 01:35.333 --> 01:37.167 will count the correct number of 01:37.167 --> 01:39.389 sit-ups allowed . Your counter will not 01:39.389 --> 01:41.556 count incorrect sit-ups . Your counter 01:41.556 --> 01:43.722 will tell you what you are doing wrong 01:43.722 --> 01:43.290 and will repeat the last number of 01:43.290 --> 01:45.401 correct sit-ups until you correct the 01:45.401 --> 01:45.150 error .
