Stop The Madness (AKA, Sit-Ups Don't Work)!
I was chatting with someone yesterday and they mentioned to me that they do 100 sit-ups every night before they go to bed.I'm certain they were expecting me to respond with a resounding WOW, but the best I could do was muster a shrug and ask them 'why'?There are several inherent problems with sit-ups and crunches:The movement actually strains the back at it's weakest point and can cause disk damageThe movement is limited to targeting the rectus abdominus muscles which can ultimately lead to a distended stomach appearanceThe movement is contrary to how we typically use our abdominal muscles and is not at all functional in nature
